The break-even point for Denis Villenueve’s Dune remains unknown, but in most cases it tends to be two or three times the production budget once marketing and distribution costs are factored in, so we’ll generously put it at $350 million before the sci-fi blockbuster can begin turning a profit.
That’s a relatively small number under normal circumstances, but the pandemic has had a seismic effect on how the biggest movies have performed in theaters. If somebody told you in late 2019 that James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad wouldn’t come close to sniffing $200 million globally, you’d have laughed them out the building, but the R-rated comic book adaptation didn’t even manage to recoup its $185 million budget.
