Angelique Jackson Warner Bros. has found a new release date for “Mickey 17,” moving Bong Joon Ho and Robert Pattinson‘s highly-anticipated collaboration to 2025. The sci-fi movie will now debut on Jan.
31, 2025, after Warner Bros. undated the movie from its scheduled March 29, 2024, release date and bumped “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” up two weeks, to take its place. When the move was announced last month, sources told Variety that the decision was made to allow more time to finish the project, which had been affected due to last year’s strikes and other various production shifts.
The new January 2025 release date also allows “Mickey 17” to open in IMAX, which wouldn’t have been possible any earlier because all those dates were previously committed to other titles. Additionally, the new date coincides with Lunar New Year, which is a major moviegoing event internationally. January also tends to be a box office dead zone, without many new releases and many of the bigger hits (like last year’s “Wonka,” 2019’s “Aquaman” or 2015’s “American Sniper”) carrying over from strong late December debuts.
Thus, a long-awaited movie like “Mickey 17” might benefit from pent-up demand, especially as this corridor of the release calendar has been successful for recent hits like “M3GAN,” “Bad Boys for Life,” the “Scream” reboot and “Split.” As far as the film’s current competition goes, the movie opens in a window between “Paddington in Peru,” which expands to U.S. theaters on Jan. 17, and Marvel’s “Captain America: Brave New World,” which is slated to open two weeks later on Feb.
