Denis Villeneuve hoped another exciting project would have toppled his blockbuster sequel.

Dune director Denis Villeneuve was vocal about his frustrations that Warner Bros. opted to release his movie on HBO Max the same day it landed in theaters in 2021, knowing that this would affect the project's performance at the box office and potentially impact the development of a sequel, but now that Dune: Part Two has become a massive financial triumph, Villeneuve has another issue with that performance.

Films like Kung Fu Panda 4, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, and The Fall Guy have landed in theaters since the release of Dune: Part Two, though none of these projects have come close to Dune's performance at the box office. While Part Two has taken in more than $700 million globally, sitting in second place is Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire with $567 million.
