The film has been able to maintain great week-to-week holds, with the steepest drop being only -45% in a given week and as low as -36% in its third week.

He stated, “The incredible response to this film has proven that Denis Villeneuve has crafted an unmissable cinematic experience for audiences, whether they are fans of the first film or discovering this world for the first time through Dune: Part Two.” This response has prompted Warner Bros., along with their partners at Legendary and IMAX, to bring Dune: Part Two back to the big screens across the country, allowing more moviegoers to experience the film in this premium format.
