Will Dune: Part Two reach the $700 million mark before ending its theatrical run? It's an interesting question given how quickly the film will become available to view at home.
Dune: Part Two will be available digitally tomorrow, on April 16, just 45 days after its theatrical release. Additionally, on May 14, Dune: Part Two will be released on 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD.
This past weekend, the film added another $4.32 million domestically and $7.2 million internationally, for a $11.52 million global weekend. The film's global box office gross now stands at $683.9 million, worldwide.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Dune: Part Two's break-even figures for box office revenue was $500M, a mark that it passed three weeks ago.
As such, it was just officially announced that Dune: Messiah is officially in development.
Dune hit theaters in 2021 and Part Two arrived in 2024, so if WB Discovery and Denis Villeneuve maintain the same pace, Dune: Messiah should arrive in 2027.
