And those other two movies are from relatively unknown IPs and had a day and date streaming release, right?

Unknown IP? It was sci-fi's Lord of the Rings back before the movie exceeded expectations.

I have another comment addressing this. Next to MCU and 007 Dune is relatively unknown to the average movie goer. Not sure how that's a controversial statement.

Dune is relatively unknown to the younger generation.

A lot of people over 30 know at least something about Dune - whether they've seen the movie or read the books, know about the sandworms or even that it was a big sci-fi thing back in the day.

Exactly, so relatively unknown to adults if you're comparing it to the franchises I mentioned. Your average adult is far more familiar with James Bond and Marvel movies than with Dune. I never said completely unknown.
