Hmmm from the Dune documentary Holy Mountain was a “hit”, particularly in Europe. That’s why he got funding to work on pre production for a Dune film, hired multiple artists to work on it for a period of time etc.
The box office you’re quoting is from a re-issue. It says right there on the page.
Again if you watch the Dune documentary, it’s stated there that:
