As Hollywood is now slowly gearing for the films to get released, many films are shifting their release on to next year. The film Dune will no longer launch in theaters on Dec. 18. Warner Bros. has not yet formally set a new release date for the Legendary tentpole. Sources, however, told a leading daily that it will be moved to early October 2021, and likely Oct. 1 that is the same date that fellow Warners release The Batman is supposed to fly into theaters.

Denis Villeneuve helms the film Dune, the ambitious big-budget flick that accommodates Frank Herbert's 1965 novel. It stars Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, Zendaya, Sharon Duncan-Brewster, Jason Momoa, Javier Bardem, Dave Bautista, David Dastmalchian, Charlotte Rampling and Stellan Skarsgard, as the villainous Baron Harkonnen. Dune's move has been in the works since last month when Warner Bros. relocated Wonder Woman 1984 from October 2020 to Dec. 25. No studio wants to play with itself and release two event pics so close together, even if Dune is done and ready to unwind.

Theaters had known that Dune would be delayed, but it still means one less 2020 event pic. On Friday, theaters desperate for the new products received word that MGM and Universal are delaying James Bond film No Time to Die from November to April 2021. The delay saw mega-movie theater chain and Regal parent company Cineworld, the second-largest exhibitor globally after AMC, said it would momentarily close or keep closed all of its locations in the U.K. and the U.S.
