The holds on Legendary/Warner Bros’ Dune Part Two have been great week-to-week since its March 1 opening, nothing steeper than -45% in a given week and as low as -36% in its third. That’s all due to Imax, and for fans who savor the Denis Villeneuve directed sequel, it’s getting an extended run in that large format exhibitor’s auditoriums.

Starting April 19, Dune: Part Two will extend its run in the format’s top 20 markets across North America.  This includes 70MM in Imax in two locales: Los Angeles’s Universal Cinema AMC at CityWalk and New York City’s AMC Lincoln Square 13. 

Warner Bros. Domestic Distribution Boss Jeff Goldstein said, “The incredible response to this film has proven that Denis Villeneuve has crafted an unmissable cinematic experience for audiences, whether they are fans of the first film or discovering this world for the first time through Dune: Part Two.  The fans have spoken and we, along with our partners at Legendary and IMAX, have listened, and we’re thrilled to return this beloved film to the biggest of the big screens across the country to once again share Dune: Part Two with moviegoers in this premium format.”

Dune: Part Two made $7.4M this past weekend in its sixth frame, -35% from last weekend, for a running domestic total of $265M at 2,836 theaters. Worldwide, the pic stands at $660.8M.
