The release of Dune 2 has been delayed until March 15, 2024. Bummer but I get it. :(

I'm irked that this is likely because of the SAG inclusion in the strike, and that WB can't promote the movie by use of the actors in interviews and other live event promotions. Therefore, someone did the maths and determined that WB would make slightly more money by delaying and using actors for promos than they would if they just released on schedule.
