Dune: Part Two Continues Impressive Box Office Despite Competition
Dune: Part Two has had a stellar run at both the domestic and global box office. After grossing $494.7 million, the film has become 2024’s highest-grossing film domestically and internationally. It collected roughly $82.5 million in North America and $182.5 million globally in its first weekend, opening at the first place at the box office.
In its second week, the film was knocked over from the top spot by Kung Fu Panda 4. However, despite the competition, the film continues to deliver impressive numbers, surpassing the entire domestic gross of its predecessor in a matter of seven days.
Moreover, Dune: Part Two is bound to cross the $500 million mark during its third week in theaters, demonstrating a strong hold over the box office. In its third week, Dune: Part Two also eclipsed the $433.9 million box office collection of the first installment. Thus, if the film continues to deliver such staggering numbers, it is bound to emerge as a monster hit and become the first true blockbuster of 2024.
Dune: Part Two stars Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Austin Butler, Dave Bautista, and Zendaya, among others. It is currently running in theaters near you, while Dune is available to stream on Max.
