Dune 2Might Dethrone Christopher Nolan’sOppenheimer
Dune: Part Twomight be the biggest film of the year because as perDeadline, the sequel is eyeing for an opening of over $65M domestically. The growth is humongous as theDune 1whichopened at just $41M. However, the first film was affected by the pandemic and HBO streaming which resulted in the low numbers.Dune 2,on the other hand, has a fair chance as the film has gained immense hype, and fans of the franchise are excited to watch the sequel.
While these are just assumptions, the opening of the film can rise from $65 million to $70-80 million in the best-case scenario. Though Christopher Nolan’sOppenheimerhad an opening of $82.4 million, the swift rise in anticipation and early reviews could lead to the film crossing the historical drama film.
Dune: Part Twomight not just surpass Christopher Nolan’s magnum opus in terms of opening, but in terms of overall earnings as well. The 2023 film which had a gross revenue of $959.9 million at the worldwide box office, could potentially be surpassed by the second installment of the film. Nevertheless, it is tempting to speculate on the success of the sequel and only time will reveal whether the sequelcan surpass one of 2023’s highest-grossing films.
