The Two Best Sci-Fi Movies Of The Decade Enter HBO Max’s Top 10 After Sequel Trailer

by

This Sci-Fi movie franchise is flying high.

This year, several beloved science fiction movie series are making a comeback in theaters. Fans of Star Wars will be excited to see Pedro Pascal’s story from the Disney+ series, The Mandalorian & Grogu, on the big screen. Looking ahead to 2026, there are also some highly anticipated new films, including Project Hail Mary starring Ryan Gosling, which is already generating a lot of buzz.

Despite all the exciting sci-fi movies planned for 2026, the biggest hit might actually be the next installment in a well-known series as it reaches a significant conclusion. Denis Villeneuve’s Dune films have been both popular with audiences and praised by critics, and excitement for Dune: Chapter Three is already building, potentially giving a boost to other films as well.

I’ve noticed both Dune movies are really popular on HBO Max right now! It seems like the new trailer for Dune: Part Three on March 17th got everyone excited. As of today, Dune: Part Two is the 7th most-watched movie on the platform across the US, and the original Dune from 2021 is right behind it at number 6. It’s great to see so much interest in the series!

Okay, so checking out what people are watching, it looks like Dune is really holding strong at the top. It’s pushed a few titles down the list, including the documentary Fukushima, and even Ryan Gosling’s Crazy, Stupid, Love – which I’m guessing is getting another look thanks to the buzz around his new film, Project Hail Mary. Steve Carell’s Evan Almighty has also slipped a bit. But the big story right now is Sinners, which is absolutely dominating the HBO Max charts, especially after Michael B. Jordan snagged that Best Actor award – and with all those Oscar nominations, it’s easy to see why!

I was so excited to hear that Sinners is absolutely crushing it on HBO Max – it’s the most-watched movie worldwide right now! It’s amazing to see something new doing so well. Dune is still hanging in there, though, landing at number 10 on the global list and trending in 15 countries – it actually hit number 2 in Turkey, which is awesome! And good news for fans of the series, Dune: Part Two is also getting a lot of attention, trending in 9 countries. It’s great to see both movies doing so well on the platform.

The latest Dune movie reached number 4 in the Netherlands, showing the franchise is becoming increasingly popular. The first film, starring Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides, earned $410.7 million worldwide. The second film, Dune: Part Two, did even better, bringing in a remarkable $718.8 million. Now, fans are wondering if the final movie in the trilogy will be able to surpass $1 billion at the box office.

Currently, only Dune: Part Three is confirmed to be in the works. While there are still several Dune books that could be made into movies, director Denis Villeneuve plans to hint at those future stories in the 2026 film, even though he considers this to be the end of his involvement with the Dune series. Given the franchise’s growing popularity on streaming services, Dune: Part Three is predicted to be a success.
