Dune: Part Three Review Release Date Revealed

Journalists will be able to share their first impressions of Denis Villeneuve’s third Dune film on December 2, more than two weeks before its theatrical release.

Jordan Ruimy of World of Reel received an invitation to a press screening on December 1, 17 days before the film opens. Journalists can share their first impressions on social media starting at 8:30 a.m. Moscow time on December 2. The embargo on full reviews will lift on December 9.

Ruimy believes the schedule reflects Warner Bros.’ confidence in the film. He notes that studios concerned about negative reviews usually lift embargoes shortly before a premiere. In this case, the press will have nine days to discuss the film before its December 18 theatrical release, when it will face Avengers: Doomsday.

The film is based on Dune Messiah, the second novel in Frank Herbert’s series, and incorporates elements of Children of Dune. Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Javier Bardem, and Florence Pugh will reprise their roles. Robert Pattinson will play Scytale.
