Minemrys:
They should do a recast now and reshoot Ezra scenes with the actor. The guy is going through psychological issues, reshoots will be needed soon. What if he isn't around then?

Minemrys:
They don't need to reshoot the whole film. Just reshoot the actor in Ezra Miller scenes. It's been done before. You just need a green screen. Snyder did it in army of the dead.
There's always reshoots for films, that's why test screenings are held in the first place. The primary shooting is done but the film isn't completed.

Na una wey take the guy serious. Shebi, he was one of the People screaming Dune was going to bomb. But how far? That same movie went on to perform really well in streaming and BO (going with covid-19 and hybrid release standard). The fvcking film even had the highest Oscar wins this year.

I don't take people that predict doom for a movie before it's release seriously. Dude you're not a fvcking psychic, so why should I take your prophecy of doom serious. Such people are just looking for attention, just like some people that are screaming all over social media that the Flash is going to bomb.

Dune didn't do well theatrically..

Xavier5:
A movie that grossed over $400M despite covid-19 and hybrid HBO MAX release didn't do well commercially?

Going with covid-19 and HBO MAX hybrid release, Dune was a commercial success. Even the industry analyst acknowledge that. So I don't get what you're saying.

Below are it's streaming and PVOD stats, just for addition.

Theatrically, not streaming. Better still, let me change it to ; Dune wasn't a success theatrically....

AnfieldFan:
You can't reshoot every scene Ezra appears in by CGI, building sets require money, transportation and logistics require money, tax files and City permits all take time..Bypassing all these by using CGI kills the film's practical effects.
Again, film's don't do reshoots, when everything's done, the scenes that need to be cut are cut in Post production...
A director shoots everything that should be shot during filming, then reshoots happen if there are additional scenes to be added maybe due to different developments, reshoots mainly happen in CBM's too...
Flash wrapped since last year, reshoots are simply not possible...

pu7pl3:
They can't start reshooting Ezra's scenes...the movie is almost done so just use a double/lookalike and complete it first and then recast for future projects

AnfieldFan:
And just to add something, 3.9 million in it's first 30 days is not outstanding...It would be decent, but not outstanding..
But I get your point...

Xavier5:
Some Dune industry analyst view below.

Before you make conclusions, consider covid-19 and HBO MAX factors first. How many films under that Circumstances will gross high.

They're a lot of analysis you have to consider before making conclusions about a movie performance. If Dune was exclusively released in theaters that would have been an entirely different thing but Dune was released both in theaters and on HBO MAX. Everybody knows that it's HBO MAX hybrid release will definitely affect it's BO just like GvK, MK, Conjuring 3, Matrix 4 and TSS. Not to talk of the piracy that such will ensure. It's very easy to pirate a streaming film thanks to screen recording technology.

So it's very comical when someone claims that with all this factors, Dune with a $400.7M gross is a failure. Even industry analyst don't think so, not after they've analyse the factors involve.

They're so many things you must put into consideration before making conclusions on the BO performance of a movie. Just dropping conclusions without considering the factors, to me isn't smart.

If you still think Dune is a theatrical failure, then so be it but always have it at the back of your mind that the Industry Analyst don't share that view and this guys understand the PRINCIPLES THAT GOVERNS THE SYSTEM

It's not outstanding but ZSJL with a 3.7M household views after 37 to 39 days of it's release on HBO MAX is applaudable. Great

Note, emphasis is on HBO MAX, so don't go about bringing up streaming stats from other platform because even Dune did well on other streaming and PVOD platforms as well. So stay on track, don't digress from the argument.

Also don't forget, Dune by march had 5.3M household views on HBO MAX despite it's exploits on other streaming and PVOD platforms.

I am not talking about CGI. Please do your findings well on actors reshooting another actor's scene. They do it a lot. A actor doesn't need to be present, you don't need to computer generate them, it's like cutting and pasting in Photoshop. They shoot the scene identically then fix the actor in the original scene. They did this in peace maker and army of the dead. If you have seen a lot of YouTube videos, you will know how possible it is.

AnfieldFan:
I'm not slating it, it's hybrid release obviously hurt it's B.O that's why I'm not saying it flopped or whatever...I'm just saying theatrical release wise, it wasn't a success...Kong Vs Zilla had the same circumstances and came out tops.. Obviously, Kong had a franchise backing it but I think I've passed my point...

Minemrys:
It's actually possible to reshoot all of his scenes. Even without rebuilding the sets or having all actors present. Am surprised you all are seeing it strange or impossible when in fact Hollywood has done it for some time now.
