Per THR, Warner Bros’ “Dune: Part II” needs to make $500 million to break even. The film cost around $190 million to produce. It should handily go past that mark and probably reach $600-700 million worldwide. The film’s got legs. It made $7 million on Monday and $8 million on Tuesday. Just to compare, 2021’s “Dune,” which had a day-and-date release on HBO Max, due to the pandemic, grossed $433 million worldwide — and that’s not counting the $30 million it amassed with last month’s re-release.
While James L. Brooks teased last year that "we'll soon be seeing" Jack Nicholson, 89, act again, and that he was "reading scripts," that idea has now been shut down by his close friend Michael Douglas, 82.
