Dune 2 Makes Denis Villeneuve's $267.7 Million Box Office Bomb From 7 Years Ago Even Worse

Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Two has been a wild critical and commercial success, highlighting just how disappointing the reaction to an earlier sci-fi epic from the Canadian director really was. Completing the saga of Paul Atreides and resolving the cliffhanger left after his original 2021 Dune movie, the film proves that Villeneuve is more than capable of expertly handling a beloved sci-fi story and adding to its legacy. For all his critical success, however, Villeneuve's credentials in this space were arguably in doubt after a surprising failure in 2017.
