Mojoguy Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 9 minutes ago, TheDude391 said: That's what Dune 1 did but...going full 1.43 really sells the sheer scale in a way widescreen never can. The verticality provided is immense. Didn't know IMAX release had changing aspect ratios! I was only able to see it on a regular screen. The Dune physical media release was a constant 2.39 throughout. Sucks they didn't keep the changing ratio for video release like Maverick, which greatly enhanced that movie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorddemaxus Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 WB and IMAX totally are gonna double-dip here and IMAX will allow WB to release a version with changing aspect ratios in a couple of years. Probably for a Dune duology home video release or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I wanna say about 35-40% of Dune 1's runtime opened up from 2.39 to 1.43? Here's some comparison footage if you're curious! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit jarring when it switched at home but you got the full imax shot finally, looked awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasted 3 hrs a week ago watching BvS and ZSJL at 2x speed just to look at how they use the 1:43 frame lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudalb Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 The first movie was a box office hit, but not a massive blockbuster. I expect a similiar performance from the second half. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurrrrk Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 This movie has a horrible release date. The Marvels the week after, then Hunger Games + Trolls, then Wish. It's the type of movie that really needs PLFs. And Warner's December slate will end up cannibalizing itself. If I were in charge, I would re-arrange the movies like this Dune 2: October 20, 2023 Wonka: December 1, 2023 Aquaman 2: December 15, 2023 The Color Purple: December 29, 2024 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still have time since we hadn't gotten the teaser yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WittyUsername Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 October 20th was the original release date. It was presumably moved because they figured they needed the few extra weeks of post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elessar Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 They should release it at a time where it can keep PLFs for a while. Maybe even postpone it to beginning of next year. I can wait as long as it can benefit from a better release window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valonqar Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 (edited) Loking really good. Read the full article. It seems that they are making changes to characters and relationships Jessica and Chani, antimosity is a new thing for sure, and Jessica actually tried to dissuade Paul from fulfilling his destiny as Mahdi in the book, not press him into it but I'm not a purist so l'm on board.
