“Dune: Part Two” coming to theaters faster

 

After the image debacle that was the “Coyote vs. Acme” animation controversy, Warner Bros. wants to win back the hearts of fans. This was unexpectedly aided by Universal Studios, which recently moved the release date of the action film “Kaskader,” starring Ryan Gosling, from March to May. Warner seized the opportunity and just announced that they are accelerating the premiere of “Dune: Part Two.”

When will “Dune: Part Two” hit theaters?

Recall that originally “Dune: Part Two” would have already been in theaters. However, actor strikes thwarted the plans. With an impressive cast, Warner Bros. had no intention of promoting the film without the actors. Thus, the studio decided to postpone the premiere to March 15, 2024.

Now, with “Kaskader” removed from the March schedule, Warner Bros. is moving up the premiere of “Dune: Part Two” by two weeks. It will hit theaters in America on March 1. The studio hopes that this will attract young viewers who will be on spring break.
