The hype was all real. Dune: Part Two, Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi sequel spectacular, finally hit theaters last weekend after a multi-month delay due to entertainment industry labor disputes, and audiences stormed to the theaters like an army of holy warriors. The film brought in over $82 million in its opening weekend, putting it right on par with last summer’s Oppenheimer, a truly astonishing feat for a movie releasing in the typically-dead period of early March.
