Now successfully grossing over $400 million worldwide along with 10 Academy Award nominations, the film is returning to HBO MAX just in time for the big award ceremony. Conveniently enough, when “Dune” returns to streaming tomorrow, it will be right before the voting window closes for the Oscars.
“Dune” is also available to stream in 4K on HBO Max; at just $14.99 a month, that’s cheaper than a single ticket to see it in theaters.

About ‘Dune’
Based on Frank Herbet’s acclaimed 1965 novel, the film follows the Atreides family, more specifically Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) who has prophetic visions. The family moves to the dangerous desert planet Arrakis (a.k.a Dune), which contains the most valuable substance in the universe — “spice.”
“Dune” is directed by Denis Villeneuve and stars Rebecca Ferguson as Lady Jessica, Oscar Isaac as Duke Leto Atreides, Jason Momoa as Duncan Idaho, Zendaya as Chani, Josh Brolin as Gurney Halleck, Javier Bardem as Stilgar, and Stellan Skarsgård as Baron Harkonnen.
The sequel, “Dune: Part Two,” will cover the second half of the novel, which focuses heavily on the House Harkonnen and the native desert tribe known as the Fremen. It is set to arrive in theaters on Oct. 20, 2023.
Dune
Paul Atreides, a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding, must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and his people. As malevolent forces explode into conflict over the planet’s exclusive supply of the most precious resource in existence-a commodity capable of unlocking humanity’s greatest potential-only those who can conquer their fear will survive.
