A couple of other movies on the calendar include 20th Century Studios’ “The Amateur” being delayed by several months. The film, which stars Rami Malek (“No Time to Die”) and Rachel Brosnahan (“House of Cards”), is moving from November 8, 2024, to April 11, 2025. Also of note, Amy Adams’ long-awaited horror/comedy “Nightbitch” finally has a release date. Look for it in limited release on December 6, 2024, before the film expands wide thereafter.
This helps firm up the calendar for Disney, giving the studio a strong-looking slate over the next few years. The studio had a rough year theatrically in 2023, with movies like “Wish,” “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” and “The Marvels” majorly disappointing at the box office. But things are looking up, with “Deadpool & Wolverine,” “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes,” “Inside Out 2,” “Alien: Romulus,” and “Mufasa: The Lion King” all on the way this year. All of those have lots of upside potential.
Looking further ahead, next year also sees “Captain America: Brave New World,” the live-action “Snow White,” and “Avatar 3” in the pipeline, among others. It’s very a franchise-heavy slate, but that’s what Disney does.
