So far, the second Dune has earned $494.7 million worldwide – $205.3 million at the domestic box office and $289.4 million overseas.
Dune: Part Two is also currently the highest-grossing film of 2024, surpassing Denis Villeneuve's first film in just three weeks.
It's also worth noting that in just 10 days of release, the second Dune surpassed the first's domestic total ($108 million) – however, the 2021 film was released simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max, so ticket sales were somewhat suppressed by the online release.
Abroad, Dune: Part Two received its largest audiences in China ($36 million), the UK ($32.8 million), Germany ($25 million), France ($24.9 million) and Australia ($15.6 million). In Ukraine, the film showed the best start for Warner Bros. since the beginning of the war – 32.6 million hryvnia for the first weekend (more current data is still unknown).
IMAX networks were in particular demand – the director chose 70 mm film for the second Dune, which provided higher detail and realism (by the way, the film was shot with Ukrainian-made lenses). Over the weekend, the film surpassed $100 million on Imax alone, becoming the seventh-fastest film to reach that milestone.
Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment, which co-produced and financed Dune: Part Two, spent $190 million on production (another $100 million in advertising).
Dune: Part Two continues the adaptation of Frank Herbert's iconic science-fiction novel from director Denis Villeneuve. According to the synopsis, the sequel will see Paul Atrid team up with the Chani and the Fremen (a tribe of desert people in the Dune universe) to take revenge on the conspirators who destroyed his family. Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgard, Dave Bautista and Javier Bardem returned to their roles. New characters also appear, played by Austin Butler (villain Feyd-Rauth Harkonnen), Florence Pugh (Princess Irulan) and Christopher Walken (Shaddam IV).
