One of the biggest movie events of 2024, Dune: Part Two is now playing everywhere. But does that mean it is only available in movie theaters, or does everywhere include digital options to watch the epic sci-fi movie at home?
Arguably the most anticipated spring movie (and quite possible all of the 2024 new movies), Dune: Part Two is the sequel to 2021's Dune, Denis Villeneuve's adaptation of Frank Herbert's sci-fi tome. The first Dune was critically-praised, won six Oscars and actually did quite well at the box office considering we were still coming out of the pandemic and it was available on streaming not too long after it debuted in movie theaters. All of that has movie fans amped up to watch Dune: Part Two.
