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.
This deeply bizarre and captivating movie seems to have resonated with American audiences and those fans immediately ran to social media to do what all great Americans do when we’re deeply moved by a piece of art: turn it into little jokes for our friends.
