'Dune' release shifts to October 2021 in another blow to movie theater business.

The announcement comes days after the theatrical debut of the James Bond movie "No Time to Die" was pushed to April 2021.Oct. 6, 2020, 3:50 PM UTCThe release of"Dune," a big-budget adaptation of the seminal sci-fi novel, will be delayed by nearly a full year, Warner Bros. has confirmed — dealing yet another blow to the pandemic-battered movie theater industry.

The announcement comes days after the theatrical debut of the James Bond movie"No Time to Die" was pushed for a second time, this time to April 2, 2021, because theaters across the country — including in the top North American markets, Los Angeles and New York — remain closed. Disney, for its part, recently delayed the planned releases of 2020 projects until next year, too — including the Marvel action drama"Black Widow" and Steven Spielberg's remake of the musical"West Side Story."
