Warner Bros., the film’s production company, made the announcement on Thursday after Variety magazine exclusively reported last month that the company was considering a 2024 release date for the theatrical debut of the sequel to Dune Part 1.
The delay of Dune: Part 2 is due to the extended strikes of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA. Because of the SAG-AFTRA strike, actors cannot promote any of the films on strike, which would have meant that the star-studded cast of Dune wouldn’t have been on the press circuit for the film. Something unthinkable.
It’s not expected that the date change will have too much impact on the box office and schedule, as they have fall releases lined up with titles like The Equalizer 3, Wonka, and The Marvels.
Both Warner Bros. and Legendary are confident that next year’s spring break for students and the Easter holidays will contribute to the success of both titles.
‘DUNE 2’ has been delayed to March 14, 2024 as studios continue to refuse to pay actors & writers fairly.
As Variety reported last month, Warner Bros. was also considering possible delays to 2024 for “The Color Purple” (December 25) and “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” (December 20), but the studio plans to keep the December dates for both titles.
Sony is the only other major studio that has delayed several of its movies amid the strikes; last month, the company pushed back Kraven the Hunter and a sequel to Ghostbusters: Afterlife to 2024, in addition to removing Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse from the release calendar.
And Dune: Part 2 isn’t the only Zendaya-starring film that has been delayed; MGM’s Challengers, a tennis drama starring Zendaya, Mike Faist, and Josh O’Connor, has also been moved to next year.
