There’s only a handful of 2024 films with a fighting chance to cross the billion dollar mark at the worldwide box-office — maybe, “Joker: Folie a Deux,” “Despicable Me 4,” “Deadpool 3” and “Dune: Part Two.” Speaking of the latter, early projections have a ‘Dune 2’ opening at around $100 million. In 2021, “Dune” earned $41 million in its opening weekend, and that was despite a hybrid theatrical/HBO Max release.
Paul Greengrass’ "The Uprising," starring Andrew Garfield, opened to $3.2M from 2,068 theaters this weekend. Yikes. The budget hasn’t been disclosed, but is said to be in the $20-$30M range.
