Korea announced on the 10th, “For audiences awaiting ‘Dune: Part 3,’ ‘Dune’ is returning to IMAX for one week starting today, Wednesday, November 11.”
The film “Dune: Part 3” is an action blockbuster depicting “Paul” (Timothée Chalamet), who inherits absolute power and becomes a tyrant, and “Chani” (Zendaya), a desert warrior who stands against him, as they face a massive war and a fateful confrontation.
“Dune” will be shown in IMAX theaters nationwide for one week, from November 11 through 17. Set on the desert planet Arrakis—the sole source of the spice—the film depicts “Paul’s” epic journey as he confronts his destiny amid the downfall of his family and a web of intrigue.
As a film that brings the vast desert and the immense cosmos to life on an overwhelming scale, it holds special significance in that audiences can once again fully immerse themselves in its grand universe through the IMAX screen. Furthermore, following *Dune*, *Dune: Part 2* is also set to be re-released in December, which is expected to further fuel audiences’ enthusiasm for binge-watching the series.
A special on-site giveaway event has also been organized to commemorate the re-release. Starting on the 11th, the first day of the re-release, a special “Dune” re-release poster featuring “Paul” in his stillsuit will be given away. The event will run until supplies last, and details can be found on the CGV website and mobile app.
The “Dune” series is a film adaptation of the eponymous novel written by Frank Herbert in 1965, with director Denis Villeneuve helming both parts. The 2021 film *Dune* drew a cumulative audience of 1.66 million in South Korea, while *Dune: Part 2*, released in 2024, attracted 2.02 million viewers.
“Dune: Part 3” will have its world premiere in South Korea on the 16th of next month.
