News Summary:

On September 11, 2026, Rocket Licensing announced plans to promote a portfolio of brands, including Legendary's "Dune," at BLE 2026, highlighting their significant licensing presence throughout 2026 and expectations for 2027. This follows the August 18, 2026, opening of presales for "Dune: Part Three" by Warner Bros. and Legendary, which included IMAX 70mm, digital IMAX, Dolby Cinema, and other premium large formats. The wide release of tickets, timed with a new 33-second spot, caused ticketing infrastructure to buckle. Simultaneously on August 18, production began in Prague for "Birdwatcher," the working title for Apple TV+ and Legendary's "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters" spin-off, with the Czech capital serving as Cold War-era locations. Earlier, on July 16, 2026, Legendary Entertainment debuted "Kong X Godzilla: The Ride" at Lotte World Adventure in Seoul, marking the Monsterverse's entry into the theme park industry.
