'Dune: Part Two' pushed back to March 15 amid Hollywood labor actions

Dune: Part Two has been postponed to March 15, 2024, because of the ongoing writer and actor strikes. The film, which was slated for November 3, needs the publicity from its star-studded cast to reach its full box office potential. Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment decided to delay it for over four months after holding out as long as they could.
