Legendary has announced the go ahead for the second Dune film with an ETA of October 20, 2023.

At the cinemas only. No same-day streaming release.

Having already performed strongly overseas prior to the US premiere, ticket sale expectations were high but tempered by uncertainty because of the simultaneous release on HBO Max.

HBO haven't reported any figures but Samba TV reported 1.9 out of 3 million households they monitor watched it over the weekend.

Dune earned $41 million US in its first weekend with over half of its ticket sales being for large format theatres.
