MANILA, Philippines—Embark on an epic return to the desert world of Dune before immersing yourself in one of the most highly anticipated sequels of the year. “Dune” makes its exclusive comeback to IMAX theaters starting February 7, offering you the chance to witness Denis Villeneuve’s initial Dune installment as it was truly meant to be seen. This extraordinary cinematic experience also includes an exclusive sneak peek at Dune: Part Two.
Directed by Academy Award-nominated Denis Villeneuve, Dune is the big-screen adaptation of Frank Herbert’s iconic bestseller, brought to life by Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures.
In this mythic and emotionally charged hero’s journey, “Dune” unfolds the tale of Paul Atreides (Timothee Chalamet), a brilliant young man thrust into a destiny beyond his comprehension. To secure the future of his family and people, he must journey to the most perilous planet in the universe. As malevolent forces clash over the planet’s exclusive supply of the most precious resource, only those who can conquer their fear will endure.

The Guardian hailed the film, stating, “Dune reminds us what a Hollywood blockbuster can be.” Empire awarded Dune a perfect five stars, praising Timothee Chalamet’s standout performance: “In a film this size, there’s every chance he’d get swallowed up by the sandworm-like enormity of everything around him – but even against the colossal spectacle, the magnetic charisma he displayed in smaller indie fare shines through.” Dune garnered a certified fresh audience rating of 90% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Beyond critical acclaim, Dune achieved remarkable success at the global box office, grossing USD 402 million.
As the cinematic journey continues, mark your calendars for the opening of Dune: Part Two in Philippine cinemas on February 28.
