Here’s a first look at DUNE: PART THREE.
Directed by Denis Villeneuve and written by Villeneuve and Brian K. Vaughan, Dune: Part Three is based on the novel Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert and delivers the epic conclusion to Villeneuve’s trilogy.
The film stars Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Jason Momoa, Florence Pugh, Rebecca Ferguson, Isaach De Bankolé, with Charlotte Rampling, with Anya Taylor-Joy, and Robert Pattinson, and Javier Bardem, and features newcomers Nakoa-Wolf Momoa and Ida Brooke.
In 2021, DUNE: PART ONE originally grossed roughly $402 million during its initial run. A 2024 re-release intended to build hype for the sequel added approximately $30 million, bringing its lifetime global total to $431–$433 million. Its theatrical earnings were notably impacted by a “day-and-date” release strategy, where it premiered simultaneously on HBO Max and in theaters.
DUNE: PART TWO opened to $82.5 million domestically in 2024, more than double the opening weekend of the first film. The sequel was a massive hit in premium formats, with IMAX screenings alone accounting for over $145 million of its total global gross. It became the highest-grossing film of 2024 during its initial release period.
DUNE: PART THREE will be in theaters and IMAX on December 18, 2026.
