The Big Picture Now well over a month and a half into its blockbuster theatrical run, Warner Bros. and Legendary’s Dune: Part Two continues to set new benchmarks. The epic science-fiction sequel delivered the seventh-biggest seventh weekend haul for a March release at the domestic box office, as it nears a new milestone globally. The movie clearly has more gas left in its tank and will continue to draw crowds to theaters even after it debuts on digital platforms next week.
Directed by Denis Villeneuve, Dune: Part Two opened to stellar reviews and has been particularly successful in the IMAX format, where it has generated over $140 million worldwide. The movie received an endorsement from none other than Christopher Nolan, whose latest film, Oppenheimer, also exceeded expectations at the box office.
Dune: Part Two concludes Villeneuve’s two-part adaptation of Frank Herbert’s landmark science-fiction novel — a cautionary tale about the perils of absolute power, and the insidiousness of blind faith. Villeneuve has reportedly begun work on a third film, based on the novel Dune: Messiah. Also starring Zendaya, Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Christopher Walken, Javier Barden, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, and others, Dune: Part Two is playing in theaters. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
