Sony Delays 'Kraven the Hunter' Release to December 2024
The move shifts the film from its initial Labor Day weekend slot, positioning it as a potential R-rated hit during the holiday season.
- Sony's 'Kraven the Hunter' has been postponed again, now set to premiere on December 13, 2024, nearly two years after its original release date.
- The delay affects the release calendar, pushing back the new 'Karate Kid' movie to May 2025 to accommodate 'Kraven's' new date.
- The film stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson as the titular villain, aiming to explore his origins before the famous Spider-Man feud.
- Sony hopes the December slot, previously successful for major franchises, will bolster 'Kraven's' performance amid a competitive release schedule.
- Analysts suggest the reshuffling could impact Sony's overall box office performance, following the underperformance of other Spider-Man spinoffs.
