In the U.K., Cineworld and Warner Bros have agreed to an exclusive theatrical window as well.
Warner Bros. will return to releasing its movies exclusively in theaters beginning in 2022.
Dune, currently set to arrive in October, also feels like a movie that might benefit from an exclusive theatrical window.
Then, beginning in 2022, all of Warner Bros.’ movies will be given an exclusive 45-day theatrical window in the U.S. That is still shorter than the exclusive windows that existed before the industry-wide shutdown last year, but still offers an opportunity for exhibitors to rake in box office dollars.
