“Dune” isn’t done. Legendary Entertainment announced Tuesday that Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune,” which adapts the first half of Frank Herbert’s 1965 science-fiction epic, will get a sequel. Whether that would be the case had been an unanswered question throughout the film’s release, which was delayed a year by the pandemic and ultimately debuted both in theaters and on HBO Max. Over the weekend, “Dune” launched with a solid $40.1 million in ticket sales in U.S. and Canada theaters. Warner Bros. is planning an exclusive theatrical release for the sequel in October 2023.
