How to Buy Tickets Online
If you’re more interested in buying tickets online, you can book a private screening through Cinema Safe or just buy a regular ticket at a theater near you, which HBO Max links to here. Dune is premiering around the same time in theaters as it premieres on HBO Max. We noticed that in our region, it’s available in theaters locally about an hour after it first premieres on HBO Max. This means it’s possible that online watchers will actually get to start watching a little earlier than movie theater viewers, depending on the region.
Dune’s synopsis reads:
A gifted young man must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and his people. As malevolent forces explode into conflict over a precious resource, only those who can conquer their fear will survive.
Dune stars Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, Zendaya, David Dastmalchian, and Stephen Henderson; with Charlotte Rampling, Jason Momoa, and Javier Bardem.

“A sequel to Dune is already in the works!”
Yeah this movie ends like half way into the 1984 movie.
Wouldn’t surprise me if they drag this out into 3 movies and the continue with the stuff that happens after the 1984 movie and the other books in the trilogy.
