Warner Bros has dated Mickey 17 for Jan. 31, 2025 — a very odd date for a highly anticipated follow-up from Oscar and Cannes Palme d’Or winning Parasite filmmaker Bong Joon-ho.
What’s key about the date is that Warner Bros will have Imax, furthermore next January is starving for wide releases.
Originally, Mickey 17 was to go on March 29, shortly after Dune: Part Two this year but the strikes pushed the movie. We kept hearing it wasn’t ready. Still that didn’t stop everyone from panting that the sci-fi feature could hit Cannes.
Also, a Jan. 31 theatrical release indicates this movie likely won’t be teed off for the 2024 Oscar season (if that was the case, Warners would indicate that with a platform date in late December, with January being the expansion). Currently on Jan. 31 is Universal/DreamWorks Animation’s Dog Man.
There were five wide releases in January this year — and by the looks of next year, we could use more.
In addition to Dog Man and Mickey 17.
