When is the Dune HBO Max release time and date? The upcoming sci-fi movie is due to release very soon, with fans also wondering if Dune will be free to watch on HBO Max. We break down the release date, time, and whether it’s free, so you can get ready for the action. As a new movie on HBO Max, Dune’s release is a complicated one — so let’s try to make sense of it.
When is the Dune HBO Max release time and date?
Dune will release on HBO Max on Thursday, October 21, at 6 PM EST. As such, it’s not long until you can watch it.
Yes, after months of delays and constant pushbacks, Dune is finally set to come out. Denis Villeneuve’s movie was first meant to release in November 2020 but was pushed back an entire year. It faced several smaller delays, too, seemingly to avoid competition with No Time to Die. Those obstacles are gone now, and the Dune release date and time are fixed.
Of course, Dune is launching on HBO Max, as part of Warner Bros.’s ongoing 2021 release strategy. In late 2020 the company announced that all of itsmajor 2021 releases, like The Suicide Squad and Godzilla vs. Kong, would release day one on HBO Max. Interestingly, Dune is actually coming to the service a day early. Its theatrical release is October 22, so HBO Max subscribers get to watch the movie a day early.
Is Dune free on HBO Max?
Yes, for HBO Max subscribers, there’s no additional fee to watch Dune. However, if you don’t have a subscription, you’ll have to sign up to watch it.
That’s different to Disney’s 2021 release strategy, where movies like Black Widow cost extra, on top of a Disney Plus subscription. It’s good news for those wanting to see Dune, though, as you won’t have to fork out extra cash for the privilege.
