The first two Dune films by director Denis Villeneuve are returning to IMAX, the large-screen cinema format, for a November run. Both films will play together on November 13 only. Separate screenings follow from November 14–18, and the program includes an exclusive preview of Dune: Part 3. That final installment of Villeneuve’s science-fiction trilogy is scheduled for December 18.[1], [2]
The third film advances the story by 20 years, with Timothee Chalamet’s Paul Atreides facing new threats after conquering much of the universe. Robert Pattinson joins as Scytale, a shape-shifting enemy seeking to kill and overthrow Paul. Nakoa-Wolf Momoa and Ida Brooke play Leto II Atreides and Ghanima Atreides, the twins of Paul and Zendaya’s Chani. Anya Taylor-Joy returns as Paul’s sister Alia.[1]
The original Dune, released in 2021, earned ten Oscar nominations and won six awards, including sound, cinematography and visual effects. The 2024 sequel received five nominations and won for sound and visual effects. Both were nominated for best picture. Their worldwide box-office totals were 411 million dollars and 715 million dollars respectively, before this new theatrical run.[1]
