- Imax re-releases both of Denis Villeneuve's "Dune" films with an exclusive sneak peek at "Dune: Part 3," with a one-day double feature on Nov. 13 and additional showtimes of each film Nov. 14-18.
- Dune: Part 3 opens in theaters Dec. 18 as the finale to Villeneuve's trilogy, jumping ahead 20 years with Paul Atreides having conquered most of the universe and facing new threats.
- Robert Pattinson joins the cast as Scytale, a shape-shifting villain who attempts to kill and overthrow Timothee Chalamet's space emperor Paul Atreides.
- Nakoa-Wolf Momoa and Ida Brooke play Leto II and Ghanima Atreides, the twin children of Paul and Zendaya's Chani; Nakoa-Wolf is the son of Jason Momoa.
- Anya Taylor-Joy returns as Alia Atreides, the younger sister of Paul, after a cameo in "Part 2."
- Dune earned 10 Oscar nominations for its 2021 release and won six, including original score, sound, editing, cinematography, production design and visual effects, with best picture and adapted screenplay among the nominations.
- Warner Bros. and Legendary's 2024 Dune sequel won Oscars for sound and visual effects from five nominations, including best picture, and took in $715 million worldwide against the first film's $411 million.
Why it matters: For Imax and Warner Bros., the Nov. 13 double feature and Nov. 14-18 showtimes put a franchise that took $411 million and then $715 million worldwide back on screens weeks before "Dune: Part 3" opens Dec. 18, creating a preview window for the finale's debut.
