Great predictions for the upcoming year! While it’s too early to tell for sure, I have a strong feeling Dune Part Two is going to perform exceptionally well. I have yet to see the movie but loved the first Dune. It’s worth noting the first film also racked multiple nominations including best picture. Here’s why I loved the original film:

I look forward to 2025 assuming we are all still here and not doing something other than normal life. Heaven forbid.
