Warners/Legendary’s plans to expand the ‘Dune’ movies, beyond Villeneuve, hasn’t been that big of a secret. A contact that’s been close to the Quebecois filmmaker told me in the fall that Villeneuve was rather “irked” by these potential plans to expand the franchise, with or without him.
Could Kung Fu Panda 4 beat Dune: Part Two’s second weekend?
I probably will if it hits 50m. still doesn’t mean Dune can’t have a great drop.

The Pig, the Snake and the Pigeon leads the day with $4.88M(-39%)/$68.55M. Kung Fu Panda 4's 2nd round of pre-screenings adds $3.46M(+3%)/$8.80M
Seems like a great result for Dune 2 and KFP4 tbh.
