Dune: Part Three is one of the most anticipated movie releases of 2026. The movie is the final part of the Dune series, following the epic journey of Paul Atreides, played by Timothee Chalamet. The movie is set to release on December 18, 2026, and a few select cities will screen the film on 70mm IMAX.
San Francisco is one of the lucky cities that has a theater capable of showing the movie on 70mm IMAX at the AMC Metreon 16. The first showtimes for the 70mm screenings quickly sold out, but more times have been added, and there’s still a chance to get tickets.

What is 70mm?
You’ve probably heard a lot about 70MM screenings lately, as it’s often the preferred format of movie enthusiasts and filmmakers. The typical frame size is the normal frame size of 35mm, meaning 70mm is twice the normal size, and it has an aspect ratio of a wider aspect ratio of 1.43:1. Movies in 70mm are also noted to have higher resolution, crisp images, and rich colors. This makes it especially appealing for movies like Dune: Part Three, which is expected to have incredible visuals.
There are only about 20 theaters across the United States that have the capability to show movies on 70mm IMAX, and San Francisco is lucky to have one.
