Washington, USA – Warner Bros. announced that the first batch of tickets for Dune 3 sold out within minutes of going on sale, a clear indication of the huge public anticipation for the new installment of one of the most successful science fiction franchises in recent years.
An early achievement reflects the strength of the series
The production company considered this rapid demand, which saw tickets sell out in less than an hour, an early success for the film before its official release. The tickets were for the IMAX 70mm format, the highest visual quality version, which is shown in a limited number of cinemas worldwide, contributing to their near-instant sale.
Global demand and resale at high prices
Tickets went on sale in over 20 cities, an early achievement reflecting the chain’s global strength. These cities include major hubs in the US, England, and Canada, as well as several European capitals boasting state-of-the-art IMAX screens. This overwhelming demand has led some to resell tickets online at inflated prices, capitalizing on the high demand, especially since these screenings are only for opening days.
The continuation of an epic science fiction saga
The film is directed by Denis Villeneuve, who presents the third installment in the series adapted from Frank Herbert’s acclaimed 1965 novels. Set in a vast fantasy world where empires and planets clash in a distant galaxy and an undefined time, the third film continues Paul Atreides’ journey and struggle for dominance, further expanding upon the world and characters established in the previous two installments.
