WHEN WILL DUNE: PART 2 BE STREAMING ON MAX? WHAT IS THE DUNE: PART 2 MAX RELEASE DATE?

UPDATE 5/14/24: Dune 2 will officially be available to stream on Max on Tuesday, May 21.

Dune: Part 2 is being distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures — meaning it will indeed join Max. Since the company no longer drops its movies on the streaming platform the same day they’re released in theaters, we are going to have to wait at least 45 days before we can watch from the comfort of our living rooms.

While there is no official streaming release date yet, The Color Purple, another Warner Bros. movie, was released in theaters on Dec. 25 and didn’t make its way to Max until Feb. 16 — nearly eight weeks after it debuted. If Dune: Part 2 follows the same trajectory, it’s possible we won’t be able to stream it until early May 2024.

WILL DUNE: PART 2 BE ON NETFLIX?

Warner Bros. Discovery films typically head right to Max after their release, however, it is completely possible that Dune: Part 2 will join Netflix at some point in the future. This is due to a deal penned between the two streaming giants that gave Netflix the streaming rights to eight DCEU movies along with other Warner Bros. Discovery projects like the original Dune and Meg 2: The Trench.
