Dune: Part Three 70mm IMAX tickets draw an overnight line at AMC Lincoln Square
- Fans formed a 1,500-foot line for Dune: Part Three 70mm IMAX tickets at AMC Lincoln Square, with some arriving at midnight and the line wrapping around the block before the box office opened.
- The rush is limited to 70mm IMAX, a format shown at about 25 US theaters, where audiences seek a specific auditorium rather than simply any screening of the film.
- AMC CEO Adam Aron said the chain discussed and prepared for the Dune 3 ticket launch internally but "thought we were ready, but we weren't."
- The in-person queue followed online sales problems for The Odyssey 70mm IMAX tickets, including platform crashes and resale listings reaching $165.
- AMC reported that 73% of tickets were bought online in 2025, up from 8.5% in 2013, but scarce premium-format releases have brought back physical ticket lines.
