It was also previously rumored last December that Legendary was planning to sue WarnerMedia in order to challenge the HBO Max release of Godzilla vs. Kong and the highly-anticipated Dune.

When WarnerMedia first announced their same-day release plans, Legendary Entertainment and Dune director Denis Villenueve were the first ones to publicly express their disappointment with the decision.
