Dune 2 has been delayed to March 2024, the release of Godzilla x Kong has also been delayed

As you can easily guess, due to the current situation related to the strikes of screenwriters and actors, several films have been postponed. Around this time, therefore, comes the confirmation that Dune: Part 2, the expected sequel to the new iteration of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune, will suffer a delay compared to the first scheduled release.

The second part of the adaptation of Frank Herbert’s work, starring Timothée Chalamet, runs from November 3, 2023 to March 15, 2024.

March 15, 2024, would have seen the release of another Legendary Pictures title, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, which also slipped, being pushed back to April 12 next year. This swirl of postponements also includes New Line’s animated project, Lord of the Rings: The War of Rohirrim, which will suffer an eight-month postponement, releasing on December 13, 2024.

At the moment it does not seem that other films expected for the same period as Dune 2 may be subject to postponements, on the contrary: with the postponement of Villeneuve’s new film and the resulting free space created, it is possible that some Competitors can expect some exits. to take advantage of the presence of the created Imax cinema: among the titles that can therefore be expected, The Marvels certainly stands out, a new film from Marvel Studios, which can be released a week early, among others among other things, having an extra week of screening before the release of a highly anticipated film, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirs and Snakes, benefited it in terms of receipts.

The situation related to the strikes in the cinema world is still very complicated, so we can expect further changes in movie releases between now and the coming months.
