Dune 2 Anya Taylor-Joy
The “Dune”-iverse adds Anya Taylor-Joy as a member. The 27-year-old star of “The Queen’s Gambit” will make a “brief” appearance in “Dune: Part Two,” according to a Warner Bros. representative who confirmed the news to USA TODAY on Thursday. Up until now, Taylor-Joy’s part has remained a mystery.
Dune 2 Budget
The reported budget for Dune 2 was $122 million. Since theater chains supposedly keep nearly half of the box office receipts, the film would need to gross over $400 million (or slightly less) to break even.
One of the biggest stories of 2024 could be Dune 2, which is expected to surpass the domestic and global totals of the first picture. In addition, with about $400 million from international markets and nearly $600 million globally, Timothée Chalamet’s Wonka demonstrated that he can be a massive international box office draw.
Dune 2 Box Office Collection
According to Deadline, the film has a good possibility of earning over $65 million in North American opening weekend earnings based on early bookings. That would mean an opening that is 58% higher than when Part 1 came out. For those who were unaware, the film’s debut in 2021 brought in $41 million.
Dune 2 Shooting
The official start of filming on “Dune: Part Two” was announced by Warner Bros. on Monday, July 18. Production locations for the film included Italy and Budapest, Hungary. Star Timothée Chalamet shared a sneak peek at the sequel as a way to celebrate production wrapping in December 2022.
FAQs
Is Dune 2 or 3 parts?
Part 3 of Denis Villeneuve’s trilogy adaption of Frank Herbert’s Dune is even more consequential to the groundbreaking science fiction story than Part 2 which is set to be released shortly. Even still, with the original film’s six Oscars at the 2022 Oscars, anticipation for Dune: Part 2 is still great.
Why was Dune controversial?
Due to production issues and a short running time, David Lynch’s 1984 adaptation of Dune was uneven and failed to adequately convey the spirit of the book. Lynch injected some imagination into the original material, altering characters and plot points, which sparked debate among fans.
How much did Austin Butler get paid for Dune 2?
Austin Butler has just joined the cast of Dune 2 as an actor. The character he’ll be portraying is Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, the youngest nephew of Baron Vladimir Harkonnen. His character has earned him $250,000.
