Summary.This is already the highest-grossing opening weekend of the year, surpassing the three-day total of $28.6 million for "Bob Marley: A Love." The premiere box office of the second installment of "Dune" was also almost on par with the $41 million box office of the previous installment, which was released in October 2021, when Warner Bros. simultaneously launched the film on its stream** (HBO Max), and theaters are still in a heavy rebuilding as the coronavirus lockdown eases. Despite these caveats, it's a terrific step forward for an exciting epic sequel.Box office Dune 2 grossed a whopping $32 million on its opening day
The question now is how high Dune can fly. The film, directed by Denis Villeneuve, had an industry estimate of between $70 million and $80 million before the weekend, and the film is likely to exceed that range. A significant portion of box office revenue is expected to come from formats such as IMAX and Dolby, as consumers have a strong appeal to Dune, a premium big-screen theater.
Ticket prices** help boost the box office, but limited screenings can also cause some viewers to postpone theaters to find a suitable seat in front of a giant screen. This may dampen viewership right now, but it may give Dune some advantages. Considering it 1With a production budget of $900 million, it will need it. Legendary Pictures invested about 80% of the production costs and was involved in the marketing efforts.
Three weeks before the release of Ghostbusters: Ice Empire, Dune 2 will also be released in IMAX theaters. It's a huge window that Warner Bros. wants to take advantage of.
"Part 2" is also auspicious for a long-term theatrical screening, and it is almost the best-reviewed film so far this year. Variety's chief film critic, Peter De Bruge, praised the film for a satisfying feeling that few films offer. Considering the production costs of this scale, this is a huge gamble and a vote of confidence in the film. Judging by the A-grade score given by Cinema Score, an early audience research company, the audience also liked the film. (The first "Dune" received an A-.) )
Dune 2 is based on Frank Herbert's sci-fi Dune 2, in which Mosamme Chalamet plays Paul Atreides, a savior-like royal who leads an army against rival tribes on the lucrative desert planet Arrakis. Zenday, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgard, J**ier Bardem and D**e Bautista will all return from the first installment, while Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Christopher Walken, Lea Seydoux and Anya Taylor-Joy is a new actor.
In second place was Paramount's "Bob Marley: The Only Love," which grossed $1.9 million on Friday, down just 48 percent from last week. The biopic is expected to gross-grossing more than $80 million domestically on Saturday and could end up grossing more than $100 million.
Lionsgate's "Ordinary Angels" is on track for third place, with an estimated $3.7 million at the box office. The religious-themed film will grossed more than $12 million this weekend. In fifth place should be Sony's "Madame Web", which didn't even reach the $3 million box office in its third weekend. The Marvel Comics adaptation of the film is expected to surpass $40 million at the domestic box office 17 days after its release. The superhero movie has a box office budget of over $80 million.
Paul Atreides isn't the only savior to hit the big screen this weekend. Fourth place should be the last two episodes of the fourth season of The Chosen One, released by Fathom Events. The show will air its first three episodes on Feb. 2 and three on Feb. 16. The first two seasons grossed $23 million, and the final season of the season will increase at the box office. The Chosen One has been a niche but reliable attraction in recent years, and the fourth season has also proven to be another fruitful adventure.
