“Dune: Part Two” is barreling to streaming. The epic sci-fi sequel, starring Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya, will become available to rent and purchase on digital starting Apr. 16, and will release on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD on May 14.
After releasing in theaters in March, the Denis Villeneuve film has become the highest-grossing film of 2024 at the domestic and worldwide box office, surpassing the $500 million mark. As of this writing, it has collected more than $665 million worldwide.
Based on the second half of Frank Herbert’s seminal 1965 novel, the story continues the mythic quest of Chalamet’s Paul Atreides, who seeks safety in the desert after powerful royals betray his family. Austin Butler, Florence Pugh and Christopher Walken join the sprawling cast of Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin and Stellan Skarsgård.
The digital version features dozens of special features including four “Filmbooks” about different aspects of the movie such as their world’s scarce resource water and The Reverand Mother, in addition to several featurettes such as An Ensemble for the Ages, Chakobsa Training, Creating the Fremen World, Finding the Worlds of ‘Dune,’ Buzz Around the New ‘Thopter,’ Worm-Riding and Becoming Feyd. The physical versions have many of the same features. Check out a full breakdown of which versions feature which special features here.
In addition to becoming an unsurprising box office hit, the film was also met with widespread acclaim upon its release. In his review of the film, Variety film critic Peter DeBruge describes the film as a “meaty, all-encompassing narrative.”
“Audiences… will find in Villeneuve’s multipart saga a satisfaction few films can offer,” he continues. “It’s an enormous gamble, given the expense of creating at this scale, and a vote of confidence in cinema.”
