In recent days, it was announced that Legendary y Warner Bros. decided to postpone the theatrical release of the anticipated sequel, Dune: Part Two of Denis Villeneuve.
This is due to the fact that the Alliance of Film and Television Producers (AMPTP) has not reached an agreement with the Actors Union (SAG-AFTRA). And since one of the rules of the SAG strike is not allowing its members to promote any type of event (movie premiere, series, attending carpets, etc.) and this is one of the studio’s highest profile projects , it was decided to postpone the premiere from November 3, 2023 to March 15, 2024.
The new date will also include functions of Dune: Part Two in IMAX format.
The studio has already started the changes to its promotional material, the first of which is a new official poster highlighting the new 2024 release date, which you can find at the end of this note.
