    Dune messiah a franchise exploit? How?

    It’s based on the next book in the series. There is a reason for it to exist beyond making money.

        Meaning what, that movie adaptations are not necessary? I know that.

        The posted list put Dune in with movies that were made based purely on the success of their predecessor, which is not the case for Dune.

        Now, while the sequel wouldn’t have been made if its predecessor hadn’t been successful, the books are the driver behind making the movies.
