PS: What Will the Legacy of Dunesday's Opening Weekend Be? (Ready)

What will the high-water mark of Dunesday's opening weekend domestic box office be in the hierarchy of past North American collective weekend ticket sales total records with most of the heavy lifting achieved by the combined box offices of Avengers: Doomsday (2026) and Dune: Part Three (2026)?

ALL-TIME RANK @ #1 (>$437M), @ #2 ($402M), @ #3 (>$314M), @ #4 (>$313M), or @ #5 (>$310M)

*The collective box office totals from Dunesday's opening weekend include all domestic (North American) movie theater box office receipts from the advance Thursday, December 17, 2026, showings (that get booked into Friday's box office totals) through the last screenings on Sunday, December 20, 2026, for Avengers: Doomsday (2026), Dune: Part Three (2026) and include the ticket sales for any other movies shown in commercial theaters across the United States and Canada that same weekend. Dunesday is a portmanteau, a word created by blending the movie titles, Dune: Messiah and Avengers: Doomsday.
