I wasn't planning to see Dune 3, but that preview made me want to see it.
Can we monitor seat availability on Dune 3 70mm as well? Maybe a beta? I think right now it's just the 4 days of early release tickets, all 100% sold out of course.
Thank god the Dune 3 movie looks like it isn't a strict adaptation of "Children of Dune".
I mean, I've seen Apocalypse Now, but I suspect the movie of that would be... unique.
Oddly enough, I sort of appreicated the David Lynch movie more after the recent movies because not what I'm older, I sort of undersgand how hard it would be to make a movie anyways.
This feels like a sort of flashback to how the web used to be in some ways.
The Metreon is running IMAX 70MM showings for 24 hours straight today started at 3AM, [half hour for previews, 3 hour movie, half hour cleanup], then 7AM, 11AM, 3PM, 7PM, 11PM and one on Sunday at 3AM and all showings are basically full. It is crazy.
But I am seeing a few every day, and I'm guessing it will get better after opening weekend too. My system checks every 10 mins leading up to 24 hours before showing, then ramps up to every 60 seconds.
Re: Cloudflare - not sure if you're trying to hit AMC's site directly or an alternative. Either way, the first library I reach for in that situation is curl_cffi https://github.com/lexiforest/curl_cffi
Can you add England/Europe listings? :)
My advice in the meantime: Codex and Claude Code are much better at correctly reading theater and airline seatmaps than they used to be. If you've got a personal plan / one via your employer, I've had good results just asking them to set a schedule to watch a seatmap directly
love exploring ancient history so can read/watch long documenatries and stuff if you have any recommendations ( hopefuly with no spoilers).

You do lose a lot of the picture as it was intended to be viewed by the director, of course. But closest IMAX was too far.
