It has been reported that the North American release date for Director Bong JoonHo’s new film ‘Mickey 17’ has been postponed. On the 6th, local time in the United States, Variety reported that Warner Brothers changed the release date from the originally scheduled January 31, 2024, to April 18. This decision was made to fill the gap left by the rescheduling of the Michael Jackson biographical film ‘Michael,’ which was originally set to open in April but postponed to October.
‘Mickey 17’ is set to be released during the Easter holiday, which is expected to give it an opportunity to monopolize special screening formats like IMAX during this period. Warner Brothers explained that this decision was based on trust in Director Bong JoonHo after the trailer released last September received positive reactions. With the change in the release date, there is also a possibility that the Korean release date, originally set for January 28, 2024, may be adjusted.
This is the second postponement of the release date. Initially scheduled for March 29, 2024, it was delayed to January due to the delay in post-production caused by the Hollywood strike.
Meanwhile, ‘Mickey 17’ deals with the unpredictable story related to the 17th death of a disposable character named Mickey who gets reprinted upon death. Hollywood actors Robert Pattinson, Mark Ruffalo, Toni Collette, and Steven Yeun are starring in the film, raising expectations even further.
There is growing interest in how ‘Mickey 17’ will be received upon its release and how Director Bong JoonHo’s cinematic world will unfold. Stay tuned for further updates.
