Part 2 of the cult film “Dune” was released in February 2024. The film's box office collection has been breaking all records since its first days at the box office.
The collection of the second “Dune” exceeded $565 million, which means that “Dune” has become a billion-dollar franchise. DiscussingFilm writes about this on Twitter.
This is an incredible achievement for the film, because there are only 2 films in the franchise. For example, Marvel collected the first billion at the box office only when the third film was released. Even taking into account inflation, the result of “Dune” is impressive.
DUNE has officially become a $1 billion franchise, says the DiscussingFilm page.
The premiere of the film was planned for the end of 2023, but due to labor disputes it was postponed. The presentation of the tape on the world stage took place on February 6, 2024 at the Auditorio Nacional in Mexico. In Ukraine, the premiere took place on February 29, 2024.
