Dune 2 is finally out on streaming. The highly-rated box office smash hit arrived on Max this month, and it's earlier than we had previously expected. Dune 2 was a huge hit for Warner Bros. too, being compared to The Empire Strikes back – a comparison that director Denis Villeneuve is humbled by – and also has a near-perfect score on reviews aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. The hype, it seems, can't get much higher.
So, whether you missed it in theaters or you're dying for a rewatch, here's everything you need to know about streaming Dune 2, as well as where it's likely going to stream in the US and UK.
When will Dune 2 be on streaming?
Dune 2 is now on Max, after being released on Tuesday, May 21.
This is much earlier than we anticipated. Before now, we'd based the streaming prediction on what happened with Barbie. The billion-dollar hit ended up on streaming a full five months after its July 2023 release. Another Warner Bros. success, Wonka (also starring Timothee Chalamet), was released on Max exactly three months after it was released in cinemas.
Based on this, we had thought we wouldn't get it until August, but we're very happy to be proven wrong!
Will Dune 2 be coming to Max?
Dune 2 is streaming on Max in the US. It is not coming to Netflix - but could very well appear on the streamer in a couple of years if the first movie is any indication.
Right now, we expect Sky and NOW TV to hold streaming rights in the UK, but don't expect that to appear until the tail-end of 2024 given the cadence of similarly big releases like Barbie and Oppenheimer on the service.
