Mickey 17 Release Date Moved to April 2025

Bong Joon-ho's sci-fi film 'Mickey 17', originally set for release on January 31, 2025, has been rescheduled to April 18, 2025, allowing for IMAX screenings. The film features Robert Pattinson as Mickey Barnes, a character who repeatedly dies and is cloned for dangerous missions, based on the novel 'Mickey7' by Edward Ashton. The release shift follows Lionsgate's decision to move their Michael Jackson biopic from April 18 to October 3, creating an opening for Warner Bros. to capitalize on the Easter weekend. 'Mickey 17' is anticipated to perform well, aided by strong initial trailer responses and the studio's history of successful Easter releases. The film's production team includes Oscar-winning producers and a star-studded cast including Mark Ruffalo, Steven Yeun, and Toni Collette. The studio expressed excitement for the new release date and the opportunity to showcase the film in IMAX globally.
