The film was originally slated to release in November.

The Big Picture
- Dune: Part Two has been delayed until 2024 due to the ongoing strikes in Hollywood.
- Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment agree that postponing the film until next year is the best decision to ensure a successful promotional campaign.
- The highly anticipated Dune: Part Two will now hit theaters on March 15, 2024.
In news that is both altogether unsurprising and equally disappointing, the return to Arrakis in Denis Villeneuve‘s Dune: Part Two has been sadly pushed back until 2024 as a result of the ongoing dual Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes which are currently bringing Hollywood to its knees in the battle for equity across the board. The film had been heavily rumoured to be a candidate for moving due to the strikes, and so it has come to pass.
Warner Bros. made the announcement today that the continuing story of Timothée Chalamet‘s Paul Atreides would move to next year following discussions with Legendary Entertainment, who co-produced the movie, with both parties agreeing that a move until next year was the best bet for all involved, as currently the film would not get the promotional campaign it deserves in order to get eyes on the prize.
The delay to Dune: Part Two comes as the dual strikes continue to drag on into the months, rather than weeks which were initially hoped for. As a consequence of the SAG-AFTRA industrial action, actors are not permitted to do any promotional work for upcoming projects, or even their previous work, which would mean the star-studded A-list cast of the movie staying at home for the big press push to get butts on seats. Given Dune‘s initial release at the tail end of the pandemic, which cost it a larger box office share, one can’t help but wonder if the films almost seem to be cursed at this point.
Dune: Part Two arrives in theaters on March 15, 2024. Check out the trailer below:
