Box Office: ‘Dune: Part Two’ Rides to Impressive $32 Million Opening Day


Denis Villeneuve's 'Dune: Part Two' will launch to the biggest box office opening of 2024.

A significant percentage of ticket sales are expected to come from formats like Imax and Dolby, as there is a serious consumer appeal to seeing “Dune” in a premium large-format auditorium. Adapted from Frank Herbert’s seminal sci-fi novel, “Dune: Part Two” sees Timothée Chalamet return as Paul Atreides, a messianic royal who leads an army against a rival clan on the extremely lucrative desert planet Arrakis. Zenday, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgard, Javier Bardem and Dave Bautista all return from the first movie, while Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Christopher Walken, Lea Seydoux and Anya Taylor-Joy are new additions to the cast.
