Yeah. I want to go see it in theaters but it might be easier just throw on headphones and watch it on my TV due to lack of time. I might just get up early or stay up late one morning to watch it while my kid is asleep.

2hrs and 35 minutes means I'll need to be able to pause for a bathroom break and refill my drink.

btw Dune will have an early release on HBO Max, similar to The Suicide Squad, so it will be on Thursday October 21 at 6 PM E.T.... So I think 3 PM PT? (22:00 UTC in any case)
Germany here - didn't go to the theaters and I'll watch it at home via hbomax the day it releases (vpn servers are a nifty thing)
39" 1080p budget LED from 2013 with built-in speakers.
But I'm also watching it at home. 😂
Always gonna watch stuff streaming if it's an option. I really hope this is a thing going forward. Fuck the theater.
Going to go see it at my local multiplex the Tuesday after release. I try to go to theaters during the week when traffic is slower.
I'll be watching at the theater…in my house. I didn't buy/build all this shit to not watch Dune on it.
I have a 4K Projector, 150" screen and nice sound system - so HBO Max
I take it back, I don't have a nice sound system

Already watched it in Europe in theatres.
First movie for me with a true Dolby Atmos experience + largest screen in my town = Fucking awesome.

After I basically saw it via the trailer before bond, HBO max.
I fucking love that we live in an era of proper home theater tech.

But you do have an awesomely gigantic screen! Mine's only 115" due to room/speaker size constraints.
The sound system build was my midlife crisis project. Two 21" subs on 4K watts and DIYSG Titan XLs with 15"s for the LCR speakers. Took the better part of a year to build and tune, but totally worth it. It's all a matter of perspective. There are people on the AVS forum who would consider what I have to be a nice little starter system.
Large format, opening weekend.
Wouldn't want it to be any other way. Blade Runner 2049 looks amazing on my TV, but I'm glad the first time I saw it, that it was on a giant screen with an audience.

Even vaccinated I am absolutely not going to go to a movie theater during COVID to watch a movie. I'll watch it from home on HBO Max.
I'll be watching Dune with a few friends in the comfort of my own home
In the first half of the year I invested in a new 7.1 home theatre with the expectation that I won't be going to a movie theatre for awhile.
New receiver, new speakers, and the only things I kept from my old setup was my subwoofer and my 65" 4K tv which does Dolby Vision.

i see there are two seats....
I actually was fortunate enough to score some IMAX tickets for a 3:30pm showing on a Monday. Needless to say the seating arrangement was empty and I was able to select seats J9 and J10. 9 seats into the row each, 6 seat up in the rows of the main seating arrangement, smack dab in the middle.
I am so ready for this.

Just curious; will you never watch it again if it leaves theaters? Or are you saying you want your first viewing to be in a theater?
IMAX upper center as God intended
(didn't do opening night because I wanted to make sure I got my ideal seat)

I'm still working on my film review, but I'll say this: if you don't have access to an OLED panel, or something that delivers a comparably insane contrast ratio, you're not going to see the same film at your home that you will in theaters. Villeneuve seems to have intentionally built this film to favor insane contrast ratios, TV viewing be damned.
Does that mean it's worth rushing to theaters to see? I'm still sorting that out for my eventual Ars review.
