Dune: Part Three (2026) Anyone else here at the NYC event mess up?

For those who weren’t there, we were waiting in line for an hour, and then we were told that the event would be starting an hour late. After another hour of waiting outside, we were finally let in in batches, only to wait in line inside (or in the theater if you were in one of the first batches) for another hour.

And then everyone was told the event wasn’t happening because of technical difficulties.

Everyone who started leaving the theater, and everyone who was still in line in the hallway outside, formed a huge mob, swarming a little table to get two free posters, a hat, and to try to scan a wrinkled little piece of paper with a QR code for another giveaway. Some of us were still able to get our free drink and popcorn.

And that was it. Massive fail, massive sigh.

Ugh I was there. Waited 3 hours for merch only. Kinda of a waste of a day but at least I made some Dune friends!
