Dune: Part Two Pushed To 2024, Godzilla x Kong Delayed a Month

Dune: Part Two has been delayed to 2024, and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire has been delayed a month because studios refuse to pay people livable wages [the ongoing strikes].

In a move that really isn't that surprising consideration that the first domino already fell with Sony Pictures, some more films have been delayed due to the ongoing strikes. These strikes are happening because studios like Warner Bros. Discovery refuse to pay the writers and actors who make their projects livable wages. Since they are refusing to pay people their worth, two more major studio productions have been delayed now that it looks like you actually need people like actors and writers to promote movies to make a dent at the box office. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Dune: Part Two has been delayed from November 3, 2023, to March 15, 2024. That also bumps Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire from its March 15, 2024 release date and has been delayed to April 12, 2024.

As we said, when Sony delayed a bunch of its movies, we are getting COVID flashbacks to two and a half years ago, and studios praying that things will be better if we wait a couple of months. Unlike COVID, this is something that could be solved tomorrow if these studios paid people livable wages. As we predicted, Sony was the first domino, and here comes Warner Bros. Discovery and Legendary. Now we sit and wait to see who blinks next or if these studios finally put on their big boy pants and end this strike.
