Hello everyone and welcome to slash film daily. Today is Tuesday March 5th

2024 on today's episode of the show we're going to be talking about the latest film and

TV news. My name is Ben Pearson I am an editor at slash film.com and I'm

joined on today's episode by slash film staff writer and box office analyst Ryan Scott.

Hey everyone how's it going.

Okay Ryan let's jump into it.

Dune part two came out this past weekend and I from everything that I've been able to glean I'm very much not in

the box office world like you are but this seems like a pretty big deal that this movie came

out and it's doing well so how just how well is this movie performing so far?

Yeah, it is indeed a big deal and just for some contact you and I have I think even going back to

what November, December of last year when we did that sort of 2024 preview P episode we were like things look bad and this was kind of the movie we were looking to of like things don't look good until doing part two arrives.

So let's talk about how it did and how good it actually was.

So let's go over the numbers very quickly.

Dune Part 2 open to 82.5 million dollars domestically, which was a stellar 20.2,000 per screen average.

It also opened to a hundred million dollars internationally.

So it's at a you know about a hundred to 89 worldwide I think is what the after the

Today's numbers are factored in and everything as well.

So it's doing exceptionally well and just to give some context here,

the first doing which opened in 2021 opened a 41 million dollars. Now it was also available on HBO Max, the pandemic was a much bigger factor at that time, but

Dune Part 2 domestically at least effectively doubled what the first movie brought in, which is rare air.
