Warner Bros. 'Dune: Part 2' Box Office Projection Revealed

Los Angeles, February 15 - Warner Bros. Pictures' epic science fiction film Dune: Part 2 is setting up to be one of the most-anticipated films. Directed by Denis Villeneuve, it is the second of a two-part adaptation of the 1965 novel Dune by Frank Herbert.

Following the success of the first part, released in 2021, Hollywood Trade is hoping for the massive success of Dune 2. However, the film's early box office projections have been revealed and it is currently falling short of the trade expectations.



According to Deadline, Dune 2 is tracking to gross $65 million - $75 million in its domestic (North America) opening box office weekend. The projections, however, are 59% - 83% higher than the first film which opened at $41 million and went on to gross $108 million domestically and $403 million worldwide.

It is revealed that the pre-sales of Dune Part 2 are pacing well and it wouldn't be surprising if the opening surpasses the industry projections.

In Dune 2, Paul Atreides continues his journey, united with Chani and the Fremen, as he seeks revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family and endeavours to prevent a terrible future that only he can predict.

The movie stars Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Zendaya, Charlotte Rampling, and Javier Bardem, reprising their roles from the first film, with Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Christopher Walken, and Léa Seydoux joining the ensemble cast.
