Dune hit UK and US cinemas this weekend and has hit the top spot on both box office charts on its debut, in the UK it took nearly £6 Million while in the US it took over $40 Million.

A sequel has been touted for a while and with the success in cinemas, and no doubt its success on the HBO Max streaming service a sequel became inevitable.

The movie has been out globally for some time and has to date taken over $220 Million.

No release date has been given yet but a 2023 release is most likely. Legendary have given a very quick teaser image though.

Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker has been passed uncut in the UK and given a 12A age rating by the BBFC.

The last film in the Skywalker sage from the Star Wars films is going to be a big deal, and director JJ Abrahams is bringing that vision to cinemas on 19th December 2019.

The film stars Carrie Fisher, Mark Hammill, Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley as the characters we have come to love over the last 42 years.

Although this isn't the end of Star Wars it is the end of the journey stared by George Lucas in 1977 and wll be celebrated.

The BBFC have given the film a 12A age rating for moderate violence, threat and it has a runtime of 141 minutes (2 hours and 21 minutes) and the film was passed uncut.
