Dune 2 is currently enjoying a great theatrical run. However, people are wondering when the film’s theatrical run will end and when it will leave cinemas. Here is everything you need to know.
When will Dune 2 stop being shown in movie theaters?
Dune 2 will likely stop being shown in theaters after around 53 days from its release, in Spring 2024.
Originally, Warner Bros. followed a 45-day exclusive theatrical window period for its recent films. However, according to Decider, since August 2022, the studio has decided to follow a case-by-case approach to determine when their theatrically released films will hit digital and streaming platforms.
For instance, a less successful Warner Bros. movie Shazam: Fury of the Gods hit streaming or digital platforms 21 days after its theatrical release, whereas a more successful film like Barbie was made available on digital or streaming platforms 53 days after the release, as per The Direct.
Dune 2 has not only had a strong box office run so far and made a lot of money, grossing nearly $500 million at the global box office, but it is also expected to continue making more money. Keeping the Barbie timeline in mind, it will likely stay in theaters for 53 days or longer before it hits streaming or digital platform sometime between April and May 2024.
Supporting the April-May 2024 release timeframe, Warner Bros. CEO David Zaslav recently confirmed Dune: Part Two would probably be made available to watch online in Spring 2024.
Additionally, a recent listing on Amazon also mentions Dune 2’s Blu-ray release to be May 14. This also aligns with the predicted online release window – between April and May – when 53 days would have passed by.
However, keep an eye out as this date is subject to change depending on how well the film performs at the box office.
