An uncommon couple of have actually currently had staged runs and are currently offered on streaming solutions– Dune: Sequel (2 Golden World elections) and Oppositions (4 World elections) appeared in the very first fifty percent of 2024 after encountering hold-ups from the twin author and star strikes. The Compound, a scary funny that suddenly got 5 elections, obtained a staged launch in September in time for Halloween, wrecked ticket office assumptions and is currently streaming on Mubi.
