Austin Butler“A new face for 'Dune,' but the guy already has reason to celebrate… 'as his film is expected to make big money at the box office this weekend.
According to Deadline … “Dune: Part 2” is the first big box office hit of the year – with predictions that the film will gross $76 million domestically.
This is a bit under-reported industry expectations of $80 million… but compared to the $41 million opening box office that the film's predecessor took, $76 million is a boon.
BTW… 'Dune 2' doesn't have stiff competition for the top box office spot – without major releases risking competing with the sci-fi heavyweight, biopic 'Bob Marley: One Love' that weeks released ago is currently expected to finish second.
Tons of people are excited about the new film obviously coming out… and it may have something to do with stars like Butler taking on key roles in the second film.
Among the newcomers joining 'Dune' are veterans such as Timothée Chalamet And Zendaya …Butler, Florence Pugh, Christopher Walken, Lea Seydoux and more.
Cast members have excited fans with their frequent appearances at events leading up to the release… with Zendaya particularly exciting audiences, especially in her revealing chrome bodysuit.
It looks like the promotions are working… and producers can rest easy knowing they're making enough money to buy all the spices on Arrakis!!!
