Release Date for 'Mickey 17' Moved Up to March 7

'Mickey 17', directed by Bong Joon-ho, is set to hit North American theaters on March 7, 2025, a month earlier than its original release date of April 18. This change comes after positive feedback from test screenings. Warner Bros. announced on December 27 that the film follows 'Mickey', a disposable character who faces death repeatedly, and the unexpected events that unfold when 'Mickey 18' is printed while he is believed to be dead. The March 7 release aligns with the spring break season, allowing the film to compete for box office success alongside other major releases like 'Dune: Part Two' and 'The Batman'. The decision to move the date forward was influenced by the film's strong performance in audience screenings. Fans have expressed excitement, praising Bong Joon-ho as a rare director who brings films to life. The film is also expected to have its world premiere in South Korea before its North American release.
