Warner Bros.
Legendary Entertainment/Warner Bros.’ Dune: Part Two He reached higher with a 82.5 million dollars opening. All of this thanks to a higher-than-expected Sunday of $21.65 million versus $20.3 million.
I hear pre-sales at Imax will remain strong through next weekend as some moviegoers want to avoid the crowds and get the best seats. The Sandworm Epic Follows a Similar Box Office Pattern to oppenheimer; that film fell -43% in weekend 2 with a gross of $46.7 million. Most likely Universal/DreamWorks Animation kung fu panda 4 wins the weekend with $50M+, however, expect a rich second weekend in March. Some sources were concerned that Dune: Part Two would concentrate at first; that doesn’t seem to be the case (knock on wood).
More confidence: Dune: Part Two It seems to be attracting a younger audience, which is a very good sign that this feature will be strong throughout the spring. The under-25 group showed up at 26% last weekend according to Screen Engine/Comscore PostTrak outputs.
Let’s not forget about repetition either: about half of those who saw the Denis Villeneuve-directed sequel this weekend said they would see it again in the cinema. And refering to Dune 3 says: Message to Legendary and Warner Bros, but 81% of PostTrak’s audience says they want to see a third part.
Worldwide for Dune: Part Two in Imax, has grossed $32 million, which is the seventh largest worldwide opening for a large-format film, behind oppenheimer, and in front of Avatar: The Way of Water in comparable markets (that James Cameron-directed sequel with a global Imax opening of $31.8 million).
