Seems to be a lot of positive online buzz about Part Two. Will be interesting to see the numbers for this opening weekend.

All I know is the showings here at the theater I use have been close to sell out for all showings.

Deadline says $81 Million for the weekend, which is good after Covid but not great.

Other movies after Covid have had much bigger openings, for example Top Gun 2 in 2022 did $126 Million over 3 days, $160 over 4, was the biggest surprise at how well it did.

It was not even the biggest 3 day opening that year.

I watched it, cut too much and changed too much from the book, felt rushed, yet I was still bored.

The book is so dense, even with 2 movies, still not enough time.

Agreed. And no movie (not even the miniseries the Sci-Fi channel did, as it was known then) is going to get it right, but it's still fun to see what they come up with...
