'Mickey 17' Rescheduled for January 2025 Amid Production Delays
Warner Bros. moves the release of Bong Joon Ho and Robert Pattinson's sci-fi movie to capitalize on Lunar New Year and avoid a crowded release schedule.
- Warner Bros. has postponed the release of 'Mickey 17' to January 31, 2025, due to last year's strikes and various production shifts.
- The new release date allows the film to open in IMAX and coincides with the Lunar New Year, a significant moviegoing event internationally.
- 'Mickey 17' is Bong Joon Ho's first feature since 'Parasite,' and stars Robert Pattinson in a story about a disposable employee on a space colonization mission.
- The film is adapted from Edward Ashton’s novel, featuring a star-studded cast including Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo.
- The January release positions 'Mickey 17' in a less competitive window, potentially benefiting from pent-up demand.
