In its sixth weekend of release, Warner Bros. Discovery's Dune: Part Two continues to sandwalk its way to new box office milestones.
Coming out of the previous weekend, the film sat at $626M globally and as it heads into a new week, the film now sits at $660.7M worldwide after adding $11.2M internationally and $7.20M domestically, for an $18.4M global weekend gross.
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, which opened last weekend, is taking a lot of box office dollars and IMAX screens away from the Dune sequel at the moment but there isn't another major blockbuster tentpole on the horizon until Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes arrives on May 10.
At the moment, a $700M+ global finish for Dune: Part Two seems all but guaranteed. Recently it was confirmed that Dune: Messiah is currently in active development.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, Dune: Part Two's break-even target for box office revenue was $500M, a mark that it passed over two weeks ago.
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.
Dune: Part Two features an exceptional cast with Timothée Chalamet starring as Paul Atreides, Zendaya as Chani, Rebecca Ferguson as Lady Jessica, Josh Brolin as Gurney Halleck, and Austin Butler as Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen.
Also appearing in supporting roles are Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan, Dave Bautista as Glossu Rabban Harkonnen, Christopher Walken as Emperor Shaddam IV, Stephen McKinley Henderson as Thufir Hawat, Léa Seydoux as Lady Margot Fenring, Souheila Yacoub as Shishakli, Stellan Skarsgård as Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, Charlotte Rampling as Gaius Helen Mohiam and Javier Bardem as Stilgar.
Dune: Part Two was released on March 01, 2024. The film was originally set for release on November 3, 2023 but was pushed back due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA Hollywood strike.
