Warner Bros pushes Dune: Part Two from November 2023 to March 2024 as actors' strike blocks promotion

Warner Bros moved Dune: Part Two from its November 2023 release to March 2024 because its stars cannot promote the film while the SAG-AFTRA strike continues.
The new date takes the sequel out of the coming awards season: the Oscars submission deadline for general categories is 18 November 2023, with preliminary shortlist voting and results in December.
Denis Villeneuve's first Dune film made over $400m worldwide and won six of its 10 Oscar nominations in 2021, all in technical categories (production design, cinematography, film editing, sound, visual effects, original score).
Warner Bros also delayed Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire from 15 March to 12 April 2024, and pointed to Blue Beetle's $25m opening weekend as the weak result it wants to avoid given the size of its Dune investment.
Other studios have shuffled schedules too: Sony delayed Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse indefinitely, and Disney reshuffled its upcoming Star Wars, Marvel and Avatar films.
