🗡️ Dune: Part Two (2)

+ The Oscar Goes To...

March 11, 2024

Dune: Part Two has been out for a little over a week now. The reactions have been overwhelming. From hilarious memes of Javier Bardem’s Stilgar portrayal, to fans making makeshift worms out of hoverboards, Dune: Part Two is taking the world by storm.

As incredible as the reaction and reviews have been, it will still be tough for the film to make the big time profit the studio is hoping for. The reports were that between the production and marketing budgets, the film would need to make more than $500 million. While currently sitting at a $376 million worldwide box office, we have no doubt it will achieve this; the question is really whether or not it will have legs and achieve a historical box office on par with the rave reviews.

Dune saw its first big challenge in its second weekend from Kung Fu Panda 4 this past weekend. Jack Black & crew did in fact take the top spot domestically. Both of these films will no doubt have impressive box office runs. What will be interesting is which has better legs and who claims this coming weekend’s #1 spot. There are limited wide releases until Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire on March 22, so we expect the aforementioned titles to battle it out until then.

The other big news we have for you is obviously last night’s results from The Academy Awards. Check out all the winners and nominees here. The headlines read that Oppenheimer owned the night. The film was awarded with 7 wins, while Poor Things was next in line with 4 wins. Of the winners, Christopher Nolan and Robert Downey Jr. took home their first Oscars for Directing and Best Supporting Actor, respectively. This being their first wins is long overdue considering how long and impressive both of their careers have been.
