For many of us, this is the most exciting week of the year. Dune: Part Two comes out tomorrow and from the early screenings and many premieres around the world, word is officially out that it lives up beyond the hype. Earlier in the press tour, Christopher Nolan likened the film to The Empire Strikes Back; the ultimate compliment when referencing a sci-fi sequel. Speaking of Nolan, since the review embargo ended, many have been comparing the film to The Dark Knight. Additionally, just this week, Dune: Part Two debuted as the highest rated film ever on IMDb.

Despite the hype, it’s still difficult these days for a film to make a profit. In this case, we’re looking at a budget of around $190 million. There’s likely a marketing campaign of $100 million or more on top of that. One report this week claimed the film is looking at about a $170 million opening worldwide, which if true, means it could make some serious money. It certainly has a lot of momentum around it from the many positive reviews.

Although it’s the biggest and only film event of the year for some, let’s take a minute to look ahead and see what might be able to top it. Right now, the biggest titles on the release schedule for the remainder of the year, include Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Deadpool & Wolverine, Transformers One, and Mufasa: The Lion King. Honestly, with the exceptions of Mad Max and Deadpool, these all feel so played out that it’s doubtful they will perform as well as their studios will be hoping them to. Our guess? The biggest movie of the year is going to come down between Dune and Deadpool. That being said, many of these movies and the others we’ll be reporting on throughout the year are bound to be great.
