This will be the likely outcome. Most high concept sci-fi gets panned these days. Blade Runner 2049, Arrival, Westworld, Raised by Wolves, Annihilation. General audiences don't do too well with difficult stuff like thinking.
I suppose it'll be their own fault if they fail to provide a satisfactory story with part 1, with a sufficient climax. it has to stand on its own as a film and entertain the uninitiated, not just stop short at some point of non-conclusion in a 100% adaptation and be like "to be continued". if not, it would be the intimate failure of dune in cinema by failing to get the sequel green lighted. it'd be known as "half dune", or maybe "du"
