We were so scared of the dunes, because HBO Max debuted in the US and cinemas at the same time, and there wasn’t much going to the movies abroad due to the coronavirus pandemic, Warner Bros. didn’t allow the sequel to be filmed either. However, a sequel to Dune is needed, as the first episode covered two-thirds of the Frank Herbert classic sci-fi movie. However, there is no need to fear anymore, because Warner and production studio, Legendary Pictures have officially confirmed that Dune 2 is coming!
Legendary shared the delightful information on Twitter (below) with a verbal photo with the following caption: “This is just the beginning… Thanks to everyone who’s seen Dune so far and also to those who will in the days and weeks ahead. We’re excited to continue the adventure!”
a Meaning of deadline According to him, we already have the date of the premiere of the cinema, namely the year and month: October 2023. Nana says Denis Villeneuve will be returning abroad as director, producer and co-writer, and by agreement between Legendary and Warner, Dune 2 will indeed appear exclusively on the big screen, but Warner’s overall distribution strategy from 2022 will be to have his films keep them in cinemas for 45 days on least and only then is it sent to HBO Max.
“I just got the news from the Legendary that we can officially keep going, and Dune 2 can go. It’s been a dream for me to take Frank Herbert’s Dune to the big screen, and thanks to the fans, cast and crew, The Legendary and To Warner Bros. That dream come true. It can come true. This is just the beginning,” Villeneuve said.

So we can’t be surprised that a sequel is coming anyway, because there were several signs of it, and even one of Warner’s heads, Anne Sarnoff, already confirmed that this would be the case, because if he thinks the first part of Dune is open, he’s about to Continuation. But the film fared very well after its American and Chinese (and local and Hungarian) screenings in its opening weekend. Offshore, North America is currently $41 million, with revenues of $182 million internationally and worldwide, so compared to the previous two figures, Dune’s balance sheet is $223.2 million. So you’ve already set your budget, $165 million, of course you’ll have to produce a lot more than that to actually succeed.
Deadline reports that HBO Maxen has also done well in the dunes so far: According to data from external statistics maker Samba TV, 1.9 million households watched the movie on the US streaming service provider over the weekend. Of course, not the most successful movie of the year in this respect, Maxine, only sixth on the top fiction list, as Mortal Kombat, which debuted as part of Warner’s parallel distribution strategy, boasted 3.8 million. True, this is not official data from WarnerMedia, so we treat it with reservations!
Meanwhile, Hans Zimmer also meant he’d be back on the deck, so he’d get his music for Dune 2 as well. You can read his enthusiastic post below.
