Dune Part 3 pre-sale tickets crashed a website today, and the reason will feel familiar to anyone who has fought for concert seats before. One Good News Tuesday story ended in a full crash, an hour on hold, and a ticket secured for opening week.

 

The other half of the segment came from a very different kind of obsession, a week spent letting Christmas movies run in the background of an ordinary Tuesday. Certain streaming platforms apparently run holiday content year round, and one very specific village setting keeps showing up whether it is October or not.

 

There's also the matter of exactly how far in advance a person needs to plan to guarantee a seat for one of the biggest Canadian film exports of the year, and what film format is worth crashing a website for in the first place.

 

Topics: Dune Part 3, Denis Villeneuve, IMAX Odyssey format, Cineplex ticket crash, Christmas movie marathon
