Dune Part Two box office prediction: Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya-starrer expected to make $80 million in first weekend

When Dune: Part One hit theatres in 2021, no one would have anticipated how impatient the fandom would be for its follow-up, Part Two. Dune has become a cult favourite for anyone who has watched it, simply because it created the right mood and seduced us into its desert-laden, sand dune adventure. Also, it isn’t too bad that the cast boasts of names like global superstars Zendaya, Timothee Chalamet, Josh Brolin and more.

If the trailer for Dune: Part Two has you salivating like a kid at a candy store, then you aren’t the only one. Fans were super thrilled to see how director Denis Villeneuve stayed true to its prequel and only took the fervour to another level with a bunch of new characters and actors in the follow-up.

Dune Two picks up exactly where the first left us -- on the cliffhanger, making us worry for the fate of Duke Paul Atreides (Timothee Chalamet) and his mother, Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson) as they bump into Fremen leader Stilgar (Javier Bardem). Paul’s visions of Chani (Zendaya) are no more mere hallucinations as he sees her in front of him in flesh and blood.
