‘Dune: Part Two’ to Revive Barren Box Office, Aims for Spicy $80 Million Debut


Ticket sales at the box office this weekend will be flowing as freely as spice on the desert planet of Arrakis -- thanks to "Dune Part Two."

It was originally slated to hit the big screen last fall, but it was delayed to spring because the actors strike prevented Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya and their co-stars from being able to promote the movie. Based on the second half of Frank Herbert’s massive book, “Dune 2” continues the mythic quest of Chalamet’s Paul Atreides, who remains on the run and seeking safety in the desert after powerful royals betray his family. Austin Butler, Florence Pugh and Christopher Walken join the sprawling cast of Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin and Stellan Skarsgård.
