The movie brought in $40.1 million at the domestic box office across 4,125 theaters across North America, despite debuting simultaneously on HBO Max. All 2021 Warner movies have the dual theatrical and streamer debut strategy.
Dune had the best domestic opening of any theatrical/HBO Max release to date, beating out Godzilla vs. Kong, which began at $31.7 million. It’s also the director’s top opening of his career, following Blade Runner 2049.
Dune is a 1965 novel by Frank Herbert and the book was turned into a 1984 movie starring Kyle MacLachlan.
A mythic and emotionally charged hero’s journey, Dune tells the story of Paul Atreides (Timothee Chalamet), a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding, who must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and his people. As malevolent forces explode into conflict over the planet’s exclusive supply of the most precious resource in existence—a commodity capable of unlocking humanity’s greatest potential—only those who can conquer their fear will survive.
The film also stars Zendaya, Stellan Skarsgard, Jason Momoa, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem, Rebecca Ferguson, and more.
