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.
