Dune 2 Re-Release Box Office Day 2: Timothee Chalamet Starrer Off To An Ordinary Reception In India!

After Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar, Denis Villenuve’s Oscar-winning film Dune 2 came back to Indian cinemas for a limited time. However, the reception was not as thrilling as Nolan’s movie. Although Timothee Chalamet’s film maintained consistent growth on Day 2 of its re-release, the overall result was only mediocre. Keep scrolling for the deets.

The Dune sequel received five nominations at the 97th Academy Awards this year and won two Oscars. It won the Oscars for Best Sound and Best Visual Effects. A sequel to Part Two based on Frank Herbert’s Dune Messiah is in development, and a previous report suggested that Jason Momoa’s character might return in the threequel. Timothee’s film became the sixth highest-grossing movie of last year, but it will lose its spot to Mufasa: The Lion King after this weekend, as it seems. Mufasa is around $1 million away from surpassing the Dune sequel’s haul worldwide.

Meanwhile, in India, Dune 2 is unable to attract viewers to the theatres. According to trade estimates, the movie by Denis Villeneuve collected Rs 50 lakhs on its second day and maintained a consistent performance at the Indian box office. Luckily for the film, the numbers did not decline and managed to have a steady hold. It reportedly collected Rs 50 lakhs on its first day of release.
