LOS ANGELES — The Warner Bros movie studio will delay the planned November release of a big-budget Dune sequel until March, a studio spokesperson said on Thursday , because its stars cannot promote the movie during the Hollywood actors' strike.
Dune: Part Two will now debut on March 15, a date that had been reserved for Warner Bros film Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. The monster movie was shifted to April 12.Dune: Part Two stars Zendaya and Timothée Chalamet in a sci-fi sequel based on Frank Herbert’s 1965 novel about an intergalactic battle to control a precious resource. The first instalment, released in 2021 during the pandemic, generated US$402 million at global box offices.
The actors' strike has prompted other movie studios to adjust film schedules in the absence of celebrities to hit red carpets or talk shows to help build buzz. The film was originally scheduled to open nationwide on Sept 22, though the studio adopted a more gradual release strategy to generate interest from audience reactions. The film will now open on a limited number of screens in New York and Los Angeles on Sept 15 before expanding across the country on Oct 6.
