Jonathan Majors’ 'Magazine Dreams' Set for Release Following Legal Fallout and Career Turmoil

The dark character study faces low box office projections and public scrutiny as Majors attempts a comeback after his 2023 assault conviction.

'Magazine Dreams,' starring Jonathan Majors, will debut in theaters on March 21, 2025, two years after its Sundance premiere.
The film, initially acquired by Searchlight Pictures, was dropped in January 2024 following Majors' conviction for misdemeanor assault and harassment.
Briarcliff Entertainment later acquired the film and launched a promotional campaign to rehabilitate Majors’ image, including emotional interviews and a surprise wedding with actress Meagan Good.
Critics have praised Majors' unsettling performance in the film, though its thematic overlap with his personal controversies complicates its reception.
Despite critical acclaim for Majors' acting, the film is projected to earn only $2 million in its opening weekend, reflecting public skepticism and the lingering impact of Majors' legal troubles.
