Denis Villeneuve wins his bet in style!

According to critics everywhere, Villeneuve has now established himself as one of the world’s elite directors – something we already knew, let’s face it.

Dune: Part Two should take advantage of spring breaks around north america to extend its cinematic reign!

This financial success will also give a boost to the 2024 box office, which got off to a slow start, with receipts 13.5% lower than last year, despite a greater number of releases.
