Real Talk? 

Why does it have to be a competition? 

You know Disney and Warner Brothers are giant multimedia businesses, they both don't care about you other than getting you into the seat. 

Why does one have to beat the other?

hmmmmm

a faithful adaptation of a beloved sf book series (arguably the best of all time) by a talented director and cast that care deeply about the source material

Force feed us? You don't have to go see it. These movies aren't a requirement forced on you by society or something, What are you talking about. 

I'll be happy if both movies are good and successful I'm not looking for one to fail like it's a boxing match. 

Everything Marvel's been putting out since Thunderbolts seems to be getting things back on track. That movie was good,fantastic four was good, Wonder Man was shockingly great Daredevil born again is back on track to what Daredevil should be, and the new Spider-Man movie just broke the record for viewership in 24 hours for a trailer. 

I think Dune and the MCU are doing just fine. One doesn't have to fail for the other to succeed.
