Denis Villeneuve's 'Dune' Delayed To October 1, 2021

Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures have delayed the release of "Dune," the sci-fi epic from director Denis Villeneuve. It will no longer premiere Dec. 18 and is now slated to debut in theaters Oct. 1, 2021. From a report: The move was expected after the studio pushed "Wonder Woman 1984" back from early October to Christmas Day, putting the comic book sequel's big screen debut one week ahead of "Dune." In normal circumstances, but especially during the pandemic, Warner Bros. wouldn't cannibalize ticket sales for a fellow studio release. Also accelerating the news: James Bond sequel "No Time to Die," which was originally set to launch at the end of November, was pushed back to 2021. That decision prompted Regal, the second-biggest U.S. theater chain, to close down its venues after reopening in August. If major movies continue to vacate their release dates, other circuits may be forced to shut down again as well.
