Denis Villeneuve’s directorial Dune 2 is shining bright at the North American box office. The epic science fiction film has completed over three weeks in theatres, but the momentum continues to stay strong. It has now become Timothee Chalamet’s highest-grossing film in the domestic market. Scroll below for the exciting updates!
Dune: Part Two revolves around Paul Atreides uniting with the Fremen people of Arrakis to fight House Harkonnen. The pre-release hype was pretty strong, and the earth-shattering results were seen during the first weekend. The film exceeded expectations and continues to do so despite a 23-day long run at the box office.
Dune 2 Domestic Box Office Collection
As per Deadline, Dune: Part Two has added another $4.5 million at the North American box office on Friday. This surges up its overall total to an impressive $220 million. With that, Timothee Chalamet gets new highest-grossing domestic film of his career.
Previously, the Paul King directorial Wonka was Timothee Chalamet’s highest-grossing film in North America. The sci-fi had added a total of $218 million in its lifetime. It had left Interstellar (2014) behind during its theatrical run, which had grossed $188 million.
Dune 2 at the Worldwide Box Office
A massive milestone was unlocked when the second installment crossed the $500 million mark globally last Monday. It currently stands at $520 million+, and the run has yet to be concluded.
At the worldwide box office, Interstellar is Timothee Chalamet’s highest-grossing film of all time with earnings of $681 million. Wonka is placed second on the list and stands at $629.7 million.
Although the gap is considerable, whether Dune 2 will be able to unlock these milestones in its lifetime run is to be seen. However, Interstellar looks out of the league at this point!
