Dune could be a theatrical exclusive after all, despite plans for Warner Bros.' entire 2021 slate to dꦰebut simultaneously on the big screen and on HBO Max.

indicate that Dune will have a Venice premiere this September, then play theatrically, then go to HBO Max. However, al🙈so in the report is a denial from Jeff Goldstein, Warner Bros.' distribution chief, who said there's "no change" to Dune's October 1 release, and it will hit theaters and HBO Max at the same time as planned.

Warner Bros.' 2021 release plan is controversial, with Christopher Nolan notabဣly criticizing the decision. Dune director Denis Villeneuve was also particularly scathing of the move: "I learned in the news that Warner Bros. has decided to release Dune on HBO Max at the same time as our theatrical release, using prominent images from our movie to promote their streaming service," 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Villeneuve wrote. "With this decision AT&💦T has hijacked one of t𝔍he most respectable and important studios in film history. There is absolutely no love for cinema, nor for the audience here."

The simultaneous release strategy also won't be extended past 2021, with a recent deal meaning Warner Bros. movie꧂s will screen exclusively at Regal Cinemas for 4🌺5 days from 2022.

However, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Godzilla vs. Kong, which released simultaneously in theaters and HBO Max, set a p🅰andemic box office record with a massive opening weekend overseas. Domestically, it netted $45.8 million on its opening weekend, and, according to Samba TV third party viewing figures, attracted 3.6 million hou♉seholds on HBO Max in its first five days. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Mortal Kombat has also been performing well, with a current globꦓal box office total of over $76 million.
