Use This Hack to Stream ‘Dune: Part Two’ For Less

Just over 80 days after premiering in theaters, Dune: Part Two is now streaming on Max — and we’re about to let you in on a secret. If you’ve held out on seeing the blockbuster sequel until now, you’re in luck because you’re about to save some money.

Dune: Part Two has been available to purchase on video-on-demand for about a month now, first available to rent for $24.99 and now available to buy for $19.99 — that’s more than a movie ticket to see it in theaters would cost at the average movie theater!

However, now that Dune: Part Two is streaming on Max, you can watch the movie for less than a movie ticket’s cost. While Max doesn’t offer a free trial, the “With Ads” plan is just $9.99/month — $10 less than it’d cost to buy the movie on VOD right now.

Director Denis Villeneuve’s ambitious follow-up to 2021’s Dune continues the story of Paul Atreides. Timothée Chalamet returns as the young Duke of Arrakis, alongside Rebecca Ferguson, Zendaya, Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård, and Dave Bautista — all reprising their roles in Dune: Part Two. Florence Pugh, Austin Butler, Léa Seydoux, and Christopher Walken joined the cast for the sequel.

In his review of the film, DECIDER’s John Serba wrote, “Villeneuve can take a somewhat improbable W for a difficult adaptation. Dune: Part Two makes the first film better in retrospect, and the eventual third one, Dune: Messiah, absolutely welcome.”

So, if you haven’t seen Dune: Part Two yet, or you’ve been hankering to rewatch Paul ride Shai-Hulud for the first time or go toe-to-to with Butler’s Feyd-Rautha for the first time since you caught it in theaters, there’s officially a cheaper way to do that than the VOD rental or purchase.

How to Watch Dune: Part Two on Max

Dune: Part Two is now streaming on Max for all subscribers on any of its three subscription plans.

Max starts at $9.99/month with ads, and goes up to $19.99/month for ad-free, 4K streaming with Dolby Atmos audio where available. You can save up to 20% on a subscription if you opt for a yearly plan, which starts at $99.99/year with ads.

To sign up, head over to the Max website, choose your plan, and create an account. It’s seriously that easy, and you’ll be watching Dune: Part Two in no time at all.

Prefer the Prime Video app and interface, but not interested in paying the full VOD price? No problem! You can also subscribe to Max right on Prime Video and watch all things Max directly in Prime Video instead for $9.99/month.
