Two mega-franchises, Dune: Part Three and Avengers: Doomsday, are locked in a Dec. 18 release clash as theaters brace for a holiday box-office tug-of-war. Dune has three weeks of Imax exclusivity, but exhibitors expect plenty of screens for both films; the busy holiday window could sustain both despite the competition and spoiler concerns.
Warner Bros./Legendary’s Dune: Part Three and Disney/Marvel’s Avengers: Doomsday are slated to open on Dec. 18, creating a holiday-season box-office clash. While exhibitors hope both can co-exist and draw large crowds, Doomsday enjoys strong early tracking and a built‑in MCU audience, whereas Dune benefits from IMAX exclusivity for three weeks. Other factors include Sony’s Jumanji 3 opening a week earlier (Dec. 11) and a typically slower post‑Thanksgiving window, making a calendar-shaping competition likely but potentially lucrative for theaters.
