'Dune: Part Two' has moved from its November 3, 2023 release date to one in March 2024, as Hollywood strikes threaten its theatrical promotion.
Warner Bros. Discovery and Legendary Entertainment's "Dune: Part Two" has moved from its November 3, 2023 release date.The move comes as Hollywood strikes prohibit actors from promoting projects that were made by studios within the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers."Dune: Part Two" has departed the 2023 box office slate amid dual Hollywood labor strikes that threaten its ability to market to the public.
The AMPTP is currently in negotiations with the WGA and it likely won't enter talks with SAG-AFTRA until that wraps up and a new contract is approved. While the scribe's guild and the producers are a the table, talks are not moving quickly and therefore unlikely to resolve in enough time for "Dune: Part Two" to have its star-studded ensemble actively promote the film.
While older moviegoers who are fans of the book and saw the first "Dune" will show up to theaters, younger audiences might miss out on the flick without promotion from these stars. Its predecessor excelled at the box office during the pandemic despite being released day and date on streaming service HBO Max . It racked up 10 Academy Award nominations, taking home six trophies.
