The film only opened with $130 million worldwide, which is less than the $139 million that the box office bomb The Flash managed to earn. Furthermore, the Indiana Jones sequel is said to have cost more than $300 million to make with marketing costs, while The Flash was estimated at $250 million. Either way, both films appear to be box office bombs, with the fifth Indiana Jones film making even less at the box office so far.
dune 1 & 2 looking millions times better visually while still costing a fraction of these things is incredible
Everytime I see someone mad about how dull it looks, I just can't help but to think this (plus it should look like that, it is a desert planet).
Yeah the color contrast between the verdant world and the desert planet made for a cool contrast. Also Geidi Prime looked like such a shitty place to live if you're not named Harkonnen
It's cause what is described in the books is absolutely fucking wack. No one should ever say any adaptation of Dune is dull visually if it's doing the source material justice. I'm Sci Fi channel mini series from 2000 and it's 2003 sequel covering the next two books gang. It's a got a decent budget and the Sci fi channel could still bring it on occasion, the cgi sucks and they had clear limitations but it tells the story well and gets the vibe just right.
On their own right yes, I'll give it at. They utterly utterly fail as an adaptation though. Dune is a bit zany, theatrical and psychedelic. They're good if taken just as movies on their own but the vibe is soooooo wrong for Dune.
