It recorded the largest first-day pre-sales total at London’s BFI IMAX, a record previously held by Nolan’s movie. The Denis Villeneuve-helmed film thus eyes a promising start and a huge opening weekend at the North American box office. But can it beat The Odyssey’s domestic debut? Keep scrolling for the deets.
The upcoming sci-fi adventure will end the Timothée Chalamet-starrer franchise, and the second film was a bigger hit than the first one. It is getting more hype because it is being released on the same weekend as Avengers: Doomsday. However, its release date in China has been delayed by a few days. The Zendaya starrer is expected to end the year with spectacular numbers at the box office.

Based on the early ticket sales, the Timothée Chalamet starrer is projected to open to over $100 million at the North American box office, with a $120 million+ massive debut also within reach. It would be the biggest and a record debut in the franchise. If the momentum continues, it could deliver a huge weekend, further cementing the Dune franchise’s box office appeal.
Can it beat The Odyssey’s domestic debut?
For the unversed, The Odyssey collected $123.5 million on its opening weekend at the North American box office [via Box Office Mojo]. With its solid early ticket sales, Dune 3 could challenge The Odyssey’s domestic debut of 4123.5 million. It is already outperforming Nolan’s epic in pre-sales. Since a $120 million-plus domestic debut seems within reach for the film, surpassing the mythological epic seems possible. However, early ticket sales alone are not enough to confirm it beat Nolan’s film. It will depend on whether the strong early sales translate into sustained demand as opening weekend approaches.
What is the film about?
The film follows a tyrannical emperor grappling with the consequences of his rise to power, as he faces the growing threat of an insurgency and haunting visions of widespread chaos. Dune 3 will be released on December 18.
