Dune: Part Three 70mm IMAX Tickets Draw Overnight Lines at AMC Lincoln Square
- Fans seeking Dune: Part Three in 70mm IMAX formed a roughly 1,500-foot line at AMC Lincoln Square 13, with some arriving at midnight before the box office opened.
- The rush centers on 70mm IMAX screenings, which play in only about 25 US theaters; Box Office Company's Daniel Loria said buyers want a specific auditorium at a specific theater.
- AMC CEO Adam Aron said the chain had prepared for the Dune 3 launch but "we weren't" ready, after the theater directed Business Insider to his X post.
- AMC reported that 73% of tickets were bought online in 2025, up from 8.5% in 2013, but failed online sales for Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey pushed some fans to buy Dune tickets in person.
- The Odyssey's 70mm IMAX presales caused ticketing-platform crashes and resale listings up to $165, prompting some buyers to spend hours in line for Dune instead.
