For further reference:

  • For an example of a very high %, "Spider Man: No Way Home" accounted for 92% of the box office on its opening weekend.

  • Similarly, "Dune: Part Two" has almost no competition on its opening weekend, although its projected opening is fairly low compared to most that break >80%.

  • The highest proportion for 2024 so far is 29% ("Argylle" on its opening weekend).

[1] This assumes that "Dune: Part Two" is #1 at the box office. It will, but if it somehow isn't, then this market must naturally resolve NO (it cannot be >50%), and so I won't need to compute anything further.

Opening weekend is over, but Shai Hulud is just getting started. Here are some markets to predict the gross of "Dune: Part Two" in its second weekend. Can it repeat Oppenheimer's amazing hold? Or have all the mega fans already seen it?

Dune's actuals are up on thenumbers.com, 72% is the % of the total box office, so this resolves NO

@mattyb I think I just misclicked a week later than usual (although normally i set the close date a while after i expect the numbers to be available anyways)
