“Dune: Part Three” ticket pre-sales open and a rush for IMAX 70mm seats triggers disruptions on major booking sites, including AMC and Fandango. Reports describe server errors and site crashes as demand spikes, with some users facing long online queues. Several screenings are reported as sold out, particularly for premium formats.
The outlets connect the website problems to the film’s expanding release plan, including an IMAX push ahead of a December opening. Times of India links the surge to broader renewed interest in premium viewing formats and notes that the film is set to adapt the second novel, “Dune Messiah.” The Washington Times similarly frames the events as a new wave of IMAX ticket availability prompting a high-traffic response. Both accounts focus on the immediate impact on ticket buyers, while discussing differing downstream expectations, including early forecasts for the domestic opening weekend.
