The sci-fi sequel directed by Denis Villeneuve has made $494.7 million worldwide, with North America contributing $208 million and international markets adding $289.4 million.
Achieving this milestone in a post-pandemic era is a significant feat, making it the highest-grossing film of 2024 so far.
The movie surpassed the domestic earnings of its predecessor in just 10 days, which faced challenges due to a simultaneous theater and streaming release.
Top-performing countries for “Dune: Part Two” include China, the U.K., Germany, France, and Australia.
Positive buzz and demand for premium viewing experiences have driven ticket sales, with over $100 million generated from Imax screens alone.
Produced by Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment, the film had a production cost of $190 million and an additional $100 million for global promotion.
The plot, based on Frank Herbert’s novel, follows Timothée Chalamet’s character as he navigates betrayal and embarks on a desert journey with a star-studded cast.
