Dune 2 Is The Last Chance To Save One Box Office Trend From Extinction

The upcoming Dune: Part Two could make or break one significant blockbuster trend that recently returned to prominence. The upcoming sequel, from director Denis Villeneuve, constitutes something of a risk. The new Dune adaptation will soon see the conclusion of its two-part event with Dune: Part Two, a big-budget epic with a decidedly darker tone than most modern-day sci-fi blockbusters. The film’s $165 million budget may seem vast, but in an era when tentpole blockbusters regularly cost more than $200 million, the price tag is comparatively restrained.
