It's fucking horrible.
“Dune: Part Two” has been delayed to 2024.
The story of Paul Atreides, played by Timothée Chalamet, will be
continued on March 15.
Warner Bros. made the announcement Thursday after Variety
exclusively reported last month that the company was eyeing a
2024 date for the sci-fi tentpole. Legendary Entertainment co-
produced “Dune: Part Two” with Warner Bros. Film Group, and both
parties had to agree on a new release date.
As part of the shift, “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” — which
was previously dated for March 14 — is getting pushed back one
month to April 12. The film is also produced by Legendary and
Warner Bros. and is the latest entry in the Monsterverse
franchise.
The “Dune” delay comes as the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes continue
to drag on. Due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, actors may not do press
for any struck films, which would have meant the star-studded
“Dune” cast would not have been on the press circuit for the big-
budget film.
The date change is not expected to have a material impact on
IMAX, who has fall product in titles like “The Equalizer 3,”
“Wonka” and “The Marvels” (assuming none of those titles move on
the calendar, as well). Both WB and Legendary are confident that
next year’s spring break for students and the Easter holiday
will provide runway for both titles to succeed.
In addition to Chalamet, the “Dune: Part Two” cast includes
Zendaya, Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Rebecca Ferguson, Javier
Bardem Dave Bautista, Christopher Walken, Lea Seydoux and more.
As Variety reported last month, Warner Bros. was also assessing
possible delays to 2024 for “The Color Purple” (Dec. 25) and
“Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” (Dec. 20), but the studio plans
to retain December dates for both titles.
Sony is the only other major studio to delay several of its
movies amid the strikes; last month the company pushed back
“Kraven the Hunter” and a “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” sequel to
2024, in addition to removing “Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-
Verse” from the release calendar. And “Dune: Part Two” isn’t the
only Zendaya-starring movie to get delayed; MGM’s “Challengers,”
a tennis drama starring Zendaya, Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor,
also moved to next year.
