Rather than hitting theaters on October 1, Variety reports that Warner Bros. has bumped the theatrical debut to October 22. The Many Saints of Newark will take over Dune‘s original release date. Meanwhile, Cry Macho, which had its release previously changed with the Dune shuffle, is now rescheduled to arrive earlier than anticipated on September 17.
The movie’s trailer has been available for nine long, teasing months, providing a dramatic and exciting look at the upcoming adaptation. As fans had hoped, Warner Bros. gave a look at the sandworm — a huge creator native to the fiction planet Arrakis — at the very end of the trailer, stoking anticipation among fans.
Though the original release date change was disappointing, there is a bright side: with the vaccination program now heavily underway and preventative measures relaxed, many people will be able to head to their local theater to watch the movie on the big screen, no doubt providing a much more dramatic experience than what you’d get a home.
