On Denis Villeneuve's 54th birthday Dune hit a key milestone, closing its third weekend at $103.9M! Impressive considering that's only from 34 countries, but how does that compare to other movies like No Time to Die? Johnny, Marcus, and Simon dive deep into the numbers: How well will Dune have to do, to be considered a success? What role will HBO Max play? What's the break even point for the movie?

Also, another clip from the movie was featured during Rebecca Ferguson's appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. It's a really touching moment between Lady Jessica, her character and Duke Leto, played by Oscar Isaac. We explore what this scene tells us, both about their relationship and the wider Dune universe. Spoiler discussion is kept to the last minutes of the episode (with advance warning).
