What’s more, the most serious aspect of this commercialization of the film was not only the screening of the film as a first installment, but also the fact that the second installment was not guaranteed and it completely depended on whether it would be carried out if the collection numbers were up to par, something that happened very soon when a Warner Bros in the midst of a COVID transformation gave orders to the Canadian director of continue with the planned plan.
A second part already underway
Now things are going so well Warner Bros has moved the release window of this second part of dunes so we will be able to enjoy it sooner than we had planned and that they had set for November 17, 2023. That is, a little more than two years since the arrival in theaters of this new adaptation of the famous science fiction novels which began to be published in 1965.
With the new changes that the production company itself has already announced, the fans of dunes they will be able to see the second part two weeks before, specifically on November 3, 2023 although, seeing the changes, why do you think they have changed things like this suddenly? There is an explanation.
As always, Marvel is to blame
Before Warner decided to make this change, a lot had happened on the Marvel sidewalk. Those of Disney decided move to the beginning of this week the opening windows of some highly anticipated UCM films and, more specifically, one that was the one that affected the second installment of dunes: Blade.
This movie was scheduled to hit theaters on November 3, 2023, so Warner didn’t want to get anywhere near that day lest the vampire story eat up their space epic, so it was deemed safe to take the premiere to day 17. But from the moment in which Marvel has changed those dates and there is no dangerthen it’s time to return Denis Villeneuve’s film to a moment in which it provides two more weeks of collection within the same year.
Fourteen days is not that they are a world either, but are enough to take over the collection on a very special weekend as it is the one of the week of Halloween where, like it or not, there is more movement in theaters and it can help to have better results. And hopefully those of dunes continue along the path of the first installment, a film that was extraordinarily well received by both audiences and critics. Nope?
