Sony Reschedules 'Karate Kid' to May 2025, Aligns with 'Cobra Kai' Finale

In a strategic move, Sony has shifted the release of the new 'Karate Kid' movie to follow the conclusion of 'Cobra Kai', while 'Kraven the Hunter' takes its December slot.

• Sony Pictures has moved the release date of the new 'Karate Kid' movie from December 13, 2024, to May 30, 2025, to coincide with the end of 'Cobra Kai' Season 6.
• 'Kraven the Hunter', another Sony production, will now release in the vacated December 13, 2024, slot, positioning it as the sole R-rated film during the holiday season.
• The release date changes are part of a broader reshuffle by Sony, which also includes the rescheduling of films like 'They Listen' and the R-rated comedy 'Animal Friends'.
• The new 'Karate Kid' film will see Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio reprising their roles, with a new addition, Ben Wang, in the titular role.
• 'Kraven the Hunter', starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, explores the origin story of the Marvel villain and will feature IMAX and premium large format screenings.
