'Dune 3' Is Already Sold Out 9 Months Before Release

The 2026 box office is already having a much healthier year than the last one, and that’s made the looming December showdown between Dune: Part Three and Avengers: Doomsday feel even bigger. According to Box Office Mojo’s year-to-date chart, the domestic box office has already climbed past $2 billion as of April 7, reaching about $2.01 billion. That’s well ahead of where 2025 was at the same point, when the domestic total sat at roughly $1.65 billion.
