“Dune” is a hit in theatres thanks to the talented Zendaya and the captivating Timothée Chalamet, and soon you’ll be able to enjoy it in the comfort of your home!

And in fact “Dune” will be available in streaming before its release in American theatres.

The date has been announced. Despite Denis Villeneuve’s frequent critical comments regarding streaming platforms and in particular HBO Max, the Canadian filmmaker’s latest film will soon be released on the WarnerMedia platform a day before it arrives in US cinemas.

On Twitter, the official account of HBO Max announced the news: “Almost time to answer the call. Dune arrives tomorrow in theaters and on HBO Max, with a special preview beginning at 6pm ET on HBO Max,” a teaser caption reads.

While the sci-fi movie is already a hit in theaters internationally, “Dune” will be released on Friday, Oct 22 in the US.

Subscribers to the HBO Max platform will be even luckier as it will be released one day earlier at 6pm on Thursday, Oct 21.

Originally, Denis Villeneuve’s feature film was to arrive simultaneously in theaters and on streaming.

But Warner Bros. decided, somewhat at the last minute it seems, to move up its release on its platform by one day. A decision likely made in light of the massive piracy of the film, already available on illegal sharing sites.

While HBO Max is set to launch in Europe on October 26, no date has been given for the release of the movie “Dune” in streaming there.
