Overview of the Release Change

Bong Joon Ho’s sci-fi film ‘Mickey 17’ has now been confirmed for a release date of April 18, 2025. This shift comes after the original January 31 slot was vacated by Lionsgate’s highly anticipated Michael Jackson biopic, now scheduled for later in the year. The new date is seen as a strategic move by Warner Bros. Pictures to position ‘Mickey 17’ in a more competitive calendar slot.

 

Details from Warner Bros. Pictures

A spokesperson for Warner Bros. expressed enthusiasm about the new release window, stating, “When the April 18 date became available, we quickly moved to secure it for ‘Mickey 17.’ We’re thrilled with the new date, and very happy the film will be available to audiences in IMAX.” The announcement also revealed that ‘Companion,’ a new horror film from New Line Cinema, will occupy the January 31 slot, further highlighting the studio’s confidence in both titles.

Anticipation for ‘Mickey 17’

The film is based on Edward Ashton’s novel ‘Mickey 7’ and stars Robert Pattinson in the lead role as a clone undertaking perilous tasks on an icy planet. The narrative thickens when one clone unexpectedly survives a lethal mission, leading to an intriguing entanglement with his other iterations. The initial trailer released in September has already generated significant excitement among audiences.

Additionally, while there were hopes for a premiere at prestigious festivals such as Cannes, the April release opens doors for platforms like Sundance or SXSW. Joon Ho has assured fans that the delay was due to a meticulous editing process, ensuring the final version aligns with his vision. As anticipation builds for ‘Mickey 17,’ it remains to be seen how it will perform during its new release window.
