‘Dune: Part Two’ Will Dust Off The Box Office With $170M Global Debut – Preview


'Dune: Part Two' to see $170M global box office opening.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, Legendary Entertainment and Warner Bros.’ Dune: Part Two opens this weekend in what’s a much-needed jolt of testosterone for the box office that’s been winded by the dual strikes’ delay of titles. The second part to the multi-Oscar winning Denis Villeneuve 2021 feature take of the Frank Herbert classic novel could very well see a$170M worldwide opening — that’s divided into$85M –$90M abroad and another$80M on the high end in U.S./Canada (Warners is conservatively projecting$65M, but most exhibitors and tracking services see near $80M). However, industry sources aren’t getting over their skis: While these types of presales indicate a $100M-plus opening on Dune: Part Two, the challenge is that non-premium sales are OK on the Zendaya, Timothee Chalamet, Austin Butler and Florence Pugh space opera.
