“Dune” is upon us, folks. After a long delay, Denis Villeneuve’s adapation of Frank Herbert’s iconic novel is hitting theaters (…and HBO Max, sigh) this week.

We are on the eve of one of the biggest releases of 2021— “Dune.” The film has been delayed (like most blockbusters) for close to a year, and now, Warner Bros. is not only releasing the film in theaters, but also day-and-date on HBO Max.

Dune doesn’t have a post-credits scene, and it’s because director Denis Villeneuve isn’t a fan of them.While we’ve almost come to expect post-credits scenes in blockbuster movies thanks to Marvel’s Cinematic Universe, Villeneuve explained to NME why his adaptation of Dune, and the rest of his filmography, doesn’t feature post-credit stings.“I don’t like post-credits scenes,” Villeneuve said.

Frank Herbert’s 1965 spacey odyssey, “Dune,” has long been one of the profoundly influential crucial crown jewels in the pantheon of science fiction. This means, of course, it’s been one of the great white whales for filmmakers to adapt.

Denis Villeneuve is that most uncommon of contemporary filmmakers, to the degree where he’s pretty much a unicorn in Hollywood terms. Put more plainly, Villeneuve is one of a handful of noteworthy studio directors capable of re-imagining venerated properties in ways that shouldn’t work – like say, for instance, a sequel to Ridley Scott’s beloved “Blade Runner” or an epic take on Frank Herbert’s long-thought-to-be-unfilmable “Dune” – and making them sing onscreen.

Though “Dune” has already debuted in international territories, Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi epic has yet to have its US debut, which is going to be the time that most people pay attention to the film.

This weekend showed some impressive signs of life returning to the box office and that blockbusters remain the big draws for audiences both domestic and international. According to various box office reports (Gitesh Pandya for one), “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” surpassed “Black Widow” ($80.3 million) and the original “Venom” ($80.2 million) earning an estimated $90.1 million at the domestic box office.

Of all the films that have been or will be simultaneously released on HBO Max and in theaters under WarnerMedia’s 2021 film strategy, the one that might be affected the most is “Dune.” Leading up to the release of “Dune,” there was so much buzz about the film and the possibilities that the Denis Villeneuve-directed feature could lead to a new franchise, with sequels and a spinoff TV series already in development.
