Dune: Part Three 70mm IMAX Tickets Send Fans Back to Overnight Theater Lines
- Dune: Part Three tickets in the rare 70mm IMAX format drew a roughly 1,500-foot line at AMC Lincoln Square 13, with some fans arriving at midnight before the box office opened.
- The format plays at only about 25 US theaters, creating demand for a specific auditorium that differs from the wider availability of films such as Spider-Man: Brand New Day, according to Box Office Company editor Daniel Loria.
- AMC said 73% of its tickets were bought online in 2025, up from 8.5% in 2013, but ticketing failures for The Odyssey led some fans to buy Dune tickets in person instead.
- Online sales for The Odyssey 70mm IMAX screenings caused platform crashes and resale prices as high as $165, while AMC CEO Adam Aron said the chain had prepared for the Dune launch but was not ready.
