Dune: Part Two Changes Release Dates (Again)

Dune: Part Two has seen its release date changed yet again. For fans of the Dune franchise, it must seem like a tall order to see its movies on the big screen. Denis Villeneuve’s Dune came out in 2021 when the pandemic was still keeping most audiences out of theaters, and Dune: Part Two has been delayed a time or two. Today was supposed to be the release date for Dune: Part Two, but Warner Bros. Discovery pushed it back from November 17th to March 14, 2024, then back a day to March 15th. Warner Bros. Discovery made another change to the sequel, but this time it moved the film up a couple of days.

Warner Bros. Discovery and Legendary Entertainment announced Dune: Part Two moves from March 15, 2024, to March 1, 2024. So instead of coming out in the middle of March, the movie will kick off the month instead. It shouldn’t be too big of a change for those wanting to see Dune: Part Two on the big screen. If anything, this is a positive sign since fans can see it days earlier.

What is the story of Dune 2?

Dune: Part Two will explore the mythic journey of Paul Atreides (Timothee Chalamet) as he unites with Chani and the Fremen while on a warpath of revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family.
