The numbers are in and it’s looking good for Timothée Chalametand Zendaya at the box office … because the ‘Dune’ sequel made big money.

The running total for opening weekend for “Dune: Part Two” stands at $81.5 million at the domestic box office … a pretty strong figure.

Remember … the movie was projected to rake in between $76 million to $80 million … so ‘Dune 2’ is outperforming so far.

The solid opening weekend follows some pent-up excitement for ‘Dune 2’ … folks were looking forward to seeing the new stars added to the mix, like Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Christopher Walker and Léa Seydoux … just to name a few.

Timothée, Zendaya and the rest of the star-studded cast did a great job promoting the film and drumming up excitement … who can forget Zendaya’s revealing chrome body suit from the London premiere.
