Hey HN! 150,000 people bought IMAX tickets to see The Odyssey the first day they went on sale. I was not one of them. So I built a site to watch every 70mm IMAX screening in the US and alert me when good seats open up.

I was able to see The Odyssey yesterday in 70mm, and it had a preview of Dune 3.
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.
I say this as a fan of Frank Herbert, and I've read all the Dune books:
Thank god the Dune 3 movie looks like it isn't a strict adaptation of "Children of Dune".
I read the main trilogy many years back; why would a faithful adaptation be a problem?

Isn't it Dune Messiah? The book is terrible and I've never managed to make it through a second time. Children and especially God Emperor I enjoyed quite a lot, though.

You're not implying that the two firsts were strict adaptations in any way or shape, are you?

Yes!! I'd say I'm probably already 85-90% of the way there for a service that monitors seatmaps for other 70mm IMAX movies too. And I, too, will want Dune 3 IMAX tickets. Was already considering keeping this going for sure
