The Big Picture The spice must flow upwards as a science-fiction story that could be Star Wars for a new generation takes shape on the distant planet, Arrakis. In a galactic box office tussle, Dune: Part Two has impressively surpassed the earnings of Solo: A Star Wars Story and Return of the Jedi with its sights now firmly set on the iconic The Empire Strikes Back.
As Dune: Part Two rides that financial sandworm through the box office, it's now on a collision course with The Empire Strikes Back, a film that remains a high watermark for the Star Wars franchise with its groundbreaking effects and deep, character-driven plot. The Empire Strikes Back, celebrated for its emotional depth and twist-laden storyline, set a towering standard in sci-fi storytelling and was ultimately rewarded with a box office haul of roughly $549 million.
