"Because I didn't want to." Perfectly reasonable 😁

I hope Dune 2 continues to do well, we need Villenueve's part 3

dune day is "May thy 9th chip and shatter". cant wait.

Hence Proven, Denis Villeneuve is the Lisan al-Gaib!

New segment on Charts with Dan: The philosophy of chart color choices and design.

I would like to see how much Madame Web lost

So hard to believe its been FOUR YEARS since the big shutdown. I worked in a theater at the time, it ended up going out of business since then :(

It’s on its way to make a Duneillion dollars!

That Dune vs. Oppenheimer chart is cool

Oppenheimer is of course a Dune prequel, since it shows the invention of atomic weaponry, which thousands of years later would be used by Paul Atreides against the Shield Wall...

Hi Dan, it's the new year here in Iran, and we are celebrating the coming of spring. Happy nowruz 🎉🌻🌼🌷🪻⚘️🌱🌳

Dan it might be cool to see what each major studios profits or losses per year are once their final films are closed for the year (usually around this time). So for instance WB 2023 grosses should be almost completely locked in for their major releases so it may be cool to see how they did over the course of the year. Did Barbie do enough to save the WB for the year? Same for Disney, Paramount, etc. might be cool to see how the industry is faring on that macro scale.

21:00 Chinese movies: "The box office is ours!" Paul Atreides: "SILENCE!"

...As it was written

Dune getting to 500 million and being referenced in One Piece at the same weekend. Big weekend for the Sandworms.

Interested to see how Ghostbusters and Godzilla x Kong do this month

It would be cool to see the 365 chart "hall of fame", if haven't already.

Wasn’t banking on hearing a Dan Murrell origin story haha

I really hope Dune gets to 700 million at least. The sweet spot would be 800 million but that's maybe somewhat not possible.

“As it was written!” 🎉

Ghostbusters Frozen Empire this weekend, next weekend Godzilla x Kong The New Empire... almost feels like it's summer.

I’m more excited for Dune content than Star Wars

I'm surprised at you Dan! No "Denis Villenueve Top 5" adjusted for inflation?

Love the Remember Me w/ RPatz shoutout lol. Can’t wait till you track Dune’s profitability!

Thank you for another week of excellent coverage!

Kung Fu Panda 5: Po goes to Arrakis and learns the Weirding Way.

I was so glad to see the title of this episode of Charts with Dan, I loved watching Dune part 2 and I was really hoping it did well.

As written!

Great work as always!

Thank you as always Dan for the Charts! Great to see the success that Dune 2 is having. Also love your background. Especially the Ghostbuster Firehouse. Looking forward to your review of the new film.

Dune pt2 has just started at a small independent cinema in my city, it was packed out, this cinema usually screens small independent and arthouse type films.

I’m so excited to see the 365 chart is back on the channel. I gotta know, would The Batman have graduated? Did it make it a full year? Thanks for all you do, and thanks for bringing back that chart.

looking forward to your annual summer top 10 box office predictions

I was planning on seeing Dune for a third time this weekend but most of the theaters here are dropping it this week 😳 I’m so shocked and disappointed!! (I live in Portland, Oregon)

Brilliant video Dan!

Nothing else says Happy Birthday for me like a new episode of Charts With Dan 🎉

Well put

Fuc it, gonna go watch it again in IMAX this weekend lol never have I ever went to the movies twice to see the same movie

2:37 Then you realize Oppenheimer's eyes are quite blue too :P

12:55 wait, WHAT??

Titanic's domestic box office adjusted for inflation is INSANE, I knew it was /big/ big but over $1b in the us and canada alone?! I thought it was international numbers for a bit. also the wedding singer is a great romcom, I highly recommend

Actually, back in 2022, The Lost City and Bullet Train had nearly identical weekends not just for their first 3 weekends, but for their entire runs.

Thanks Dan

Nice vid Dan

Prisoners was such a fantastic movie

Duuuuune

I liked a bit about choosing colors for oppenheimer and dune part 2

24:00 I remember seeing The Man In The Iron Mask with my friends when it came out (when I was 15). I think we were the only male audience members - the rest were girls there to see Leo. (We also got told off by the staff for making too much noise mocking the trailers at the beginning, LOL.)

Dune2!

Whoop 365 day chart. I really hope Oppenheimer can stay in theater for another 4 months making it the newest member of the 365 club. Summer around the corner idk but 🤞

Lead them to paradise!

i don't think youre using the word "calendar year" correctly. i think a calendar year is january 1 - december 31, not the last 365 days from march 19 - march 19. fantastic charts! not a real criticism, you're doing awesome. we box office junkies need you dan. thank you.

I like the rolling 365 chart 👏🏿

Any idea how much Dune needs to make (domestic and global) for studio to consider making another?

Late Night with the Devil is another movie coming out this week that I’m really looking forward to!

I’m intrigued to see where Dune ends up. It looks to have incredible legs, but I wonder if Godzilla x Kong will take premium screens, which has been the driving force behind Dune’s continued holds. Hopefully, it continues to do great!

You know what chart i'd like to see again. The "most money-est actors" chart where you track which actors have the best agents and have gotten them roles in the biggest money makers of the year. Chalamet is obviously a far frontrunner for calender year 2024, but it would be cool to know the others as well.

Doin' it.

26:15 looking at these adjusted numbers makes me wonder what the adjusted budgets were for these films... Maybe Dan could add that to his chart? It would be interesting to compare the budget of these films to the current budgets of today's films

Kung Fu Panda, Dune: Part Two & Imaginary all had strong holds that’s great!

I love the 365 day chart. Have you been keeping track of all the films that have made it into the hall of fame?

Going to see Dune in 70mm on the 28th! I had to buy the tickets super far out cuz all the good seats were taken. It will be my third time. Love it so much.

Yay so glad the 365 Chart is back! I agree with suspending it when it’s just entirely last year, perfect time to reintroduce it! 🎬📈

Dan, just a random thought. In the "Road to Recovery" chart, instead of comparing current figures to 15-19 AVERAGE, could it be better to compare them to the 15-19 MEDIAN? Like for weekend 11 and Beauty & The Beast 2017, many weekend has an "anomaly" that pushes the avg up. Every other year in that timespan on that specific weekend was between 131M and 138M. So the median of 135M would, in my brain atleast, make for better point, as in more indicative of the normal weekend we could expect in mid-March back then.

The similarity might have to do with the maximum ceiling for an IMAX blockbuster

Good Will Hunting lasting 15 weeks in the top 5 in that flashback Box Office made me very happy, I love seeing that movie win even if it had already won for in 1998.

I always enjoyed man in the iron mask. I am a sucker for a good 3 musketeer movie

X-Men 97 review? Hell, yeah!

I think Titanic is when I started following the box office more closely as well. I was 25 when it came out and I went to see it on opening weekend, I think (or the 2nd weekend...definitely in December 1997), because a girl I was dating wanted to go, and I ended up liking it a lot. As I recall, the news articles were proclaiming that the opening weekend was underwhelming given the $200 million budget, and that it might end up another Waterworld level of money loser, but then it just kept going, steadily making around $25 million weekend after weekend for months. This may have been the first time I saw the term "box office legs" used in the media. I got caught up in the Titanic box office phenomenon as it stayed at #1 for so long...which movie would dethrone it? When The Man in the Iron Mask just barely failed to take #1, I had a feeling it would be a few more weeks given the upcoming slate of new releases. I had hoped Titanic would stay #1 until Godzilla came out in May 1998, because I knew that would open big, but it ended up that the Lost in Space film adaptation of the old television show managed to do it in early April. But given how low it opened ($20 million), I hoped Titanic would reclaim the top spot, but once it lost #1, it started dropping quickly and never challenged again. I still kept an eye on Titanic for months as it steadily crept closer to $600 million, but it took nearly a year to get there.

@Dan Can you do a review of Shogun, the new FX show? Apparently, it's popular right now and it would be nice to know your opinion on it.

It's nice to see a Denis Villeneuve film breaking into mainstream and general audiences around the world. I hope more people watch his other stuffs. He was long overdue for this.

Cabrini lol

Hello @Dan Murrell, just to point out, you have Mean Girls as final gross worldwide, but it as a matter of fact just finished its first weekend in Poland - I have no idea why the box office numbers are not out, but I doubt that it didn't earn anything.

If Villeneuve could finish the whole saga and they all have the same quality of the first two, he should be the greatest director who has ever walked the earth.

Great work!

Thanks for the show Dan! Awesome as always!

Dune Fu Panda

Long Live The Fighters!

It could be the screen count for Oppenheimer was lower than it could have been because of Barbie and limited IMax screens so people who wanted big screens went in weeknights. Or the audience had more retired people for Oppenheimer.

Just out of respect of sound of freedom Im gonna go see Cabrini this weekend.

I like the 365 chart! 😤

Congrats to Ordinary Angels, a serviceable generic melodrama that rescheduled it's release to avoid competing with Taylor Swift, on hanging around in the Top 10 longer than Madame Web.

Can’t remember such a bleak March box office, pandemic years notwithstanding. Scary to imagine what the month would look like without Dune being delayed from 2023.

I remember the long wait for a film to beat Titanic to No.1 in 1998. I think it took till Easter for Lost In Space to do it.

😂😂😂 bro it’s ok you can say the #9 film 💪🏾..

22:04 dang I thought it was dog film chart

I have a personal love for Frank Herbert's Dune and as such, I'm super invested in Dune movie's success...

Lisan Al Gaib !

is the 365 day club coming back? i miss those tracking charts.

Hey Dan, I think your "Wish" numbers for the domestic weekly box office are wrong... The ninbers seems to grow each week where they actually got smaller each week...

I think Oppenheimer may have a wider audience reach, but I really get the impression more people will watch Dune multiple times in the theatre - compared to Oppenheimer.

I don´t think will reach the billion, but it surpassed the first one so 3rd one confirmed!

I'm shocked Oppenheimer did better on weekdays. I STILL haven't seen it, and it's BECAUSE it's too long to fit in after work between dinner and bedtime.

Dune 2 being three hours long, I had to leave my job two hours early to catch the 3.00 PM showing on a tuesday. I paid over 22,40 Euros for a non-3D IMAX ticket (in Finland). It feels like people who have the time to see movies on weekdays don't have the money, and people who do don't have the time!

Do we know if Denis wants to do a 3rd Dune?

It's making MORE money than Part 1.

Wow, I didn't know Robert Pattinson had more than one suprise-9/11 movies, lol

Its crazy to think, that Titanic basically made the same amount as Star Wars 7 did back in 2015.
