[Dune] in the 1984 film, why does the emperor obey the demands of the Spacing guild?

I'm just confused as to how much power this emperor has if he is willing to obey the demands of the spacing guild, such as ordering the Reverend mother out of the room, demanding to know the emperor's plans, then ordering the execution of Paul. I never read the book and am only familiar with the movie.

In order for anyone to do *anything*, they must operate within the restrictions imposed by the Spacing Guild.  The restrictions include restrictions on use of atomics, shield use, shield-lasgun-cancel-bombs, mass casualty combat, attacking noncombatants, etc.
