Dune 2 is going strong in the domestic market!
After recent successes like The Beekeeper, Mean Girls, and Bob Marley: One Love, Hollywood is going to get its first big commercial winner in the form of the Dune sequel. It’s very much on track to become one of the biggest domestic grossers in recent times and has already come closer to the $100 million milestone.
Status at the North American box office
Coming to the latest update, Dune 2 amassed $89.8 million at the North American box office, with an impressive $7.3 million coming in on the first Monday. With this, the film scored the 8th biggest Monday ever in March’s history. It crossed Logan’s $7.2 million.
Take a look at the list of the top 10 highest Mondays of March at the North American box office:
Batman V Superman – $15 million
Beauty And The Beast – $13.5 million
The Batman – $11.1 million
Captain Marvel – $11 million
The Hunger Games – $10.8 million
Alice In Wonderland – $9 million
300 – $7.6 million
Dune 2 – $7.3 million

Upcoming box office journey
The way the Dune sequel is performing, it’ll overtake its predecessor’s $108.89 million collection in a couple of days. So, including Thursday previews, the lifetime will be surpassed in just 6 days, and that’s some sort of crazy momentum.
Considering the current pace, it’s hard to predict how far Dune 2 will go in the domestic run.
Speaking about the worldwide box office, the magnum opus almost hit a double century in the extended opening weekend itself. As word-of-mouth is highly positive and a big market like China is joining the party this Friday, there’s a chance that the film might cross the mark of $1 billion, thus becoming the first film of 2024 to achieve the feat. Let’s see what happens further.
