Key Points
(Bloomberg) -- Dune: Part Two, the new installment in a sprawling film series based on the sci-fi story by Frank Herbert, opened with weekend ticket sales of $81.5 million in US and Canadian theaters, delivering the best debut this year..
Discovery Inc., which released the film in partnership with Legendary Entertainment, was predicting a more conservative $65 million..
Advance ticket sales ran far ahead of the original, which would go on to gross more than $400 million worldwide, Box Office Pro said..
Strong early reviews, an aggressive marketing campaign against weak competition and the expected skew toward premium large-screen formats (like Imax) lifting average ticket prices are positives," Bloomberg Intelligence said in a research note..
The development of any third film will depend on a range of factors, including whether Dune: Part Two performs and whether creatively we feel its a story we have to tell," Legendary Entertainment CEO Josh Grode said by phone..
