Blade Runner 2049 made $32.8M in its opening weekend back in 2017, so Dune will need to keep up its strong start to top the Harrison Ford and Ryan Gosling-led sci-fi sequel. Either figure would still be enough for Dune to surpass Blade Runner 2049 and become the biggest opening weekend for Denis Villeneuve. The Wrap reports industry estimates expect Dune to make $39M during its opening weekend now, while Warner Bros.' projections are a bit more cautious with $33M.
#BEST INFINITY BOX MOVIE#
In Dune's first full day in theaters domestically, the movie earned $17.5M and has raised box office projections to a career-best for director Denis Villeneuve. This looked to be a good sign for a stronger opening weekend than previously imagined. Some of this interest comes from the desire to see a sequel after Villeneuve decided to split Herbert's original novel in half. While Dune already had one failed movie from David Lynch, projections for Villeneuve's movie remained optimistic. Early projections for its box office had it opening in the low $30 million range, but Dune managed to earn more than The Suicide Squad in Thursday night previews. With a lot of star power attached to Dune, fans have continued to wonder how big of a hit the movie will be for Warner Bros. The movie also features a great collection of actors around Chalamet, including Oscar Isaac, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Jason Momoa, and Zendaya. Dune stars Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides, a member of the powerful House Atreides who learns about his place in the galaxy amid a war over the spice located on Arrakis. As one of the most anticipated movies of 2021, sci-fi fans have long been excited to see Villeneuve's adaptation of Frank Herbert's acclaimed novel. Denis Villeneuve is on track to have his best career opening weekend with Dune's box office.
