Dune: Part Three Insider Screenings Sell Out as IMAX Footage Details Arrive
- Warner Bros. opened early Dune Insiders ticket access for Dune: Part Three, and the rush caused online queues, error messages, and rapid sellouts at major US theater chains.
- The film opens officially on December 18, after early IMAX 70mm screenings on December 14, standard IMAX screenings on December 15, and other premium-format screenings on December 17.
- Dune: Part Three was shot with hybrid IMAX film cameras and IMAX-certified digital lenses, with 71 minutes presented in IMAX's expanded aspect ratio.
- Standard IMAX venues will show the expanded sequences at 1.90:1, while select IMAX with Laser and 70mm venues will use the taller 1.43:1 frame.
- Only 25 US theaters have the equipment to project the film in 70mm IMAX, making the earliest premium-format screenings scarce.
