Timothée Chalamet and Josh Brolin in Dune: Part 2
The Big Picture Despite being out on digital platforms, Warner Bros. and Legendary’s Dune: Part Two continued to generate interest at the global box office over two months into its theatrical run. But the epic science-fiction sequel dropped below $2 million in weekend earnings at the domestic box office for the first time, as it lost over 600 theaters.
With $281 million in the bank so far from domestic theaters, it’s unlikely that Dune: Part Two has enough spice in the tank to take it past the $300 million milestone, let alone challenge Oppenheimer’s lifetime domestic haul of $330 million. The film has grossed an additional $427 million from overseas markets, for a cumulative global haul of $708 million.
Villeneuve vocally protested, the industry pushed back, and director Christopher Nolan severed ties with the studio, but Dune: Part One still came out on Max, which obviously affected its box office potential. But with new management in charge, the studio didn’t want to repeat the same mistakes with Dune: Part Two, which was delayed from its original 2023 release because of the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes. The strikes would’ve prevented its ensemble of young stars from promoting it.
'Dune's Young Stars Have Been Elevated to the A-List Close Dune: Part Two’s global box office performance has cemented the stature of not only Villeneuve but also stars Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya. Chalamet was coming off of his 2023 smash hit Wonka, which generated over $600 million worldwide as well. Dune: Part Two established his box office pull, and earned him a first-look deal with W.B.
