What these box-office figures do—and do not—show
Worldwide gross is the reported sum of domestic and international theatrical box office where those subtotals are listed. It is not a measure of profit: it does not subtract production, marketing, distribution or exhibitor costs. These are nominal U.S.-dollar figures, not adjusted for inflation, and gross alone cannot establish whether a film was profitable.

The ranking is limited to the five films for which matching worldwide figures were verified. It should not be read as a placement for every Villeneuve feature; lower positions for other films are not assigned here because matching totals were not established.
Independent reader supportYour contribution helps us test, update, and keep practical guides available for everyone.Source consistency matters
Box-office databases can report different totals for the same film. For example, the available figures for Blade Runner 2049 differ between databases. This ranking uses The Numbers’ $259,668,585 franchise-table figure rather than combining totals from different sources. The Numbers’ current individual Dune: Part Two page and its matching franchise listing report $715,206,195; an older page variant surfaced a different total, so it is not mixed into this list.
