Well, folks, the weekend is finally here: Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Two hits screens everywhere and it's looking like it's going to be the kick in the ass the U.S. box office has sorely needed! 

As it is the first big box office event of the year (sorry to all the Beekeeper obsessives out there), it's looking to make a good bit of scratch this coming weekend. Thursday numbers reported are already showing the film grossed around $12 million and its advanced ticket sales have blown past Dune: Part One's by almost 116%, so I think it's safe to say this film is not in any danger of terribly under-performing. All that in mind, just how big is this movie going to be? 

Current projections are showing an opening weekend somewhere in the range of $71M-$86M, so what do you think? How will the next chapter in the fight for the soul of Arrakis do this weekend? Vote below and happy Dune-ing! - Andrew

Chris Wallace

I'll be doing my part to pump the numbers

Les Whinen

I'll be part of whatever the take is tonight

Cody Dean

It’s pretty great and feels much more accessible/broad than part one. I think it’s gonna rake in a lot of cash

Luke

US this weekend? I gotta go under $71 million. First one made $108 million total domestic

Carey Johnson

I hate going on opening weekend, but I'm pretty pumped for this so I'll probably make the trip to the theatre on Sunday

Bradley Barger

Maybe wishful thinking, but I think it will beat the projections. I've got plans to see the imax tomorrow!

Kristopher Oest

I think it will hit around $78 million and have an excellent second weekend.

Nick N

Easy $100 million if they counted sales of the Duneussy bucket

Nicole Stuart

I CANNOT wait to see this!!

Derrick Affolder

I'm going along with being optimistic that it'll do better than projected. Every person I know that is a theater going type is planning on seeing it. I almost never do opening weekends because I work all weekend, but I'm squeezing it in Sunday morning, I've had my tickets for a month or so. I also already have tickets to see it a second time later this week in 70mm. Unfortunately, Arizona's only true IMAX screen is absolute trash, so I don't have that option.

Paddy O'Rourke

I'm excited but I don't feel the type that would lead to huge numbers

janine green

I've already reserved my pre-order of the 4k with the winking butthole coverart

Jessica

I dunno. Barbie-heimmer flipped everything on its head. We don’t have a “normal” anymore.

Rose Esposito

I feel like the runtime might keep some normies away, but it's still gonna be a huge deal. I can't wait for tomorrow 🥳

Craig Ainsworth

Seeing it tomorrow and can't wait. Can see it over performing and hitting $100 million.

Daniel Hood

My guess is about 72 mil, but it'll have some staying power for a few weeks that'll it'll be fine on top of intl sales. Looking ahead on the calendar I don't see any obvious contenders to topple it unless the new Ghostbusters somehow catches fire. Maybe until Godzilla x King Kong it'll stay #1.

ADAM D BOSTON

That's some pretty tight spacing there. Four votes within 10 million.

Damon LeCornu

LONG LIVE THE FIGHTERS!

I.C. Weiner

This movie better hit big so that we can get the third movie. This one kicked so much ass.

DMAC

Christopher Walken as Shaddam Corrino be like: Two Little Atredeis fell into a bucket of Spice...

TJ Guiney

I just saw a 2:15pm friday showing and it was sold out. this is going to do gangbusters

Chris Rodriguez

The IMAX sales will make this one huge. Shai-hulud and Hans Zimmer were tag-teaming my chair's structural integrity for two-and-a-half hours last night.

Ellen Aim

I saw the second showing this morning at a theater with middling popularity in my area. It wasn't sold out, but pretty full.

Eren Keskin

May the Shai-hulud bless this picture with $82M & up. The $pice must flow. *Spits at y'all*

wehatemovies

And they kicked their little legs until they churned that bucket of Spice into a bucket of Water of Life! - Andrew

wehatemovies

It's definitely happening. At this point, I'd be genuinely surprised if they don't go forward. - Andrew

wehatemovies

As much as I despised it, that Ghostbusters Afterlife was a big hit, so there's certainly competition coming. - Andrew

wehatemovies

Right, but take into consideration the years that that film has had to drum up word of mouth and rope in new fans, along with creating anticipation for this one, plus the fact that a lot of the younger cast is now much more famous than they were a couple years ago (Flo and Austin now in the cast as well), and how WB didn't let people forget the film was coming, despite its release date push back, and you have yourself a perfect storm to easily go above $71M. I guess we'll have to see! - Andrew

DMAC

You're talking to my Sardaukar all wrong. It's the wrong tone.

Tim O'Connor

Guys, this movie is seriously so good, you all have to go see it. You will regret missing it in the theater.

Smaug

I am the Lisan al Gaib and I foresee $82M+, it rules

Luke

Yup, I was totally wrong, and all good points. Never underestimate the power of celebrity

Jason

How many people do you think, while drenching their popcorn in butter, were saying: “The Spice must flow!”?

Derrick Affolder

It just barely beat the $82 million. My friend that runs a theater said her standard showings were empty but the premium showings were sold out.
