Dune: Part Two, starring Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Florence Pugh and others in key roles, took a bite out of Oppenheimer’s earnings at the global box office.
Director Denis Villeneuve’s otherworldly sequel has earned $97 million from 71 overseas markets, boosting its global tally to a promising $178.5 million. By comparison, Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer generated $174 million in its global opening.
This remarkable achievement not only highlights the immense popularity of the Dune franchise but also solidifies Chalamet’s status as a box-office powerhouse.
Dune, which was delayed for release from November because of the actors’ and writers’ strikes, is kicking off a busy March release calendar. Next Friday’s premieres include Lionsgate’s Imaginary, Universal Pictures’ Kung Fu Panda 4, Universal’s Rayman’s Big Movie, and Angel Studios’ Cabrini.
