Warner Bros. Moved 'Dune: Part Two' Release Date Up By Two Weeks

Los Angeles, November 18 - Warner Bros. Pictures has moved up the release date of the highly-anticipated sci-fi epic Dune: Part 2 by two weeks. The movie was originally announced for release in 2023 itself but was postponed due to the writers' strike.

Directed by Denis Villeneuve, the sequel starring Timothée Chalamet will now open in theatres on March 1, 2024, two weeks earlier than the planned March 15 release after the postponement from November 3rd, 2023, which itself wasn't the original date.



Many Hollywood films are reshuffling the release dates after the SAG-AFTRA strike ended last week. "Dune 2" has taken the March 1st release slot after Universal Pictures' action comedy "The Fall Guy" exited the date in the same week, and also Legendary's "Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire", which now pushed to April 12, 2024.

"Dune 2", also starring Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, and Florence Pugh, among others, is the sequel to Dune (2021). It is the second of a two-part adaptation of the 1965 novel Dune by Frank Herbert and follows Paul Atreides as he unites with the Fremen people of the desert planet Arrakis to win the war against House Harkonnen.

The film will explore the continuing journey of Paul Atreides, who is united with Chani and the Fremen. As he seeks revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family, he endeavours to prevent a terrible future that only he can predict.
