Bong Joon-ho's 'Mickey 17' May Miss Cannes... Postponed to January Next Year
"Confirmed for January 31 Coinciding with Asian Lunar New Year Holidays"
Director Bong Joon-ho's new film 'Mickey 17' is expected to be released next year.
On the 20th (local time), American entertainment media Variety reported that distributor Warner Bros. has set the release date for the film 'Mickey 17' on January 31 next year.
Originally, 'Mickey 17' was scheduled to be released on March 29 this year, but it was reported last month through foreign media that the release was delayed due to the strikes by the Screen Actors Guild?American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) and the Writers Guild of America (WGA). There was speculation that it would be unveiled at the Cannes Film Festival in May this year, but it will meet audiences next year.
Regarding this, Screen Daily analyzed, "Late January next year has relatively fewer competing films, making it possible to secure IMAX screens in North America, and it coincides with the Lunar New Year holiday in Asia."
