Anticipation for Dune: Part Two ran high here at Mashable, where my fellow staff members spent significant time traipsing around New York City in search of the film’s NSFW popcorn bucket. Now we know much of North America is obsessed with the film too, to the tune of $32 million. That’s how much the film earned on its opening day domestically, with Deadline estimating it could earn as much as $170 million across 71 additional international markets over the weekend.
Folks who have already seen the film are heading to X (formerly Twitter) to share their first impressions of the sequel, which are coming in as hot as the sun on the sands of Arrakis.
