Dune has grossed $40m box office in its opening weekend, making it WB’s best performing 2021 film so far.
A figure that was better than expected, given the combined theatrical and streaming release.
At the time of writing, the film has grossed $221m worldwide.
As HBO doesn’t release its viewing figures, this data was collected by Samba TV.
For Dune fans, this is hugely positive news.
It’s surely a sign that a sequel will soon be announced.
Villeneuve always intended to make his adaptation into two films.
Hence, we should see a sequel get greenlit hopefully in the coming days.
The spice has flowed, and Villeneuve should get the chance to realise his vision.
We can’t wait to venture back to Arrakis!
