‘Dune: Part Two’ Provides Spice To Box Office As No. 7 Most Valuable Blockbuster Of 2024
Dune: Part Two posted 2024's first big domestic and global box office opening on its way to a $183.4 million profit.
Legendary wanted to remain faithful in the second go-round to keep multi-Oscar-nominated filmmaker Denis Villeneuve’s vision intact; it entailed shooting in live environments with Imax cameras in Jordan (where a majority of the pic’s production was shot at night due to the extreme daytime heat), Abu Dhabi and Hungary. With actors restricted during the SAG-AFTRA strike, Warners and Legendary made the mutual decision to postpone Dune: Part Two from a November 2023 release to the first weekend in March so cast members Zendaya, Timothée Chalamet, Florence Pugh, Austin Butler, Josh Brolin, Rebecca Ferguson and Javier Bardem could promote the movie, particularly on social. Much like Warner Bros brought back the box office this year with A Minecraft Movie, its shift on Part Two propelled moviegoers to return en bulk, with the sequel posting the first big domestic and global opening of 2024 with $82.5M and $182.5M, respectively.
