There’s been a bit of a scheduling shake-up over at STX and it involves a few of their big upcoming releases. One of the most notable bits of news to come out of this scheduling shuffle affectsGuy Ritchie’s new movie,The GentlemenstarringHugh Grant,Matthew McConaughey,Colin Farrell, andHenry Golding.
According toThe Hollywood Reporter, STX has set an early 2020 release date forThe Gentlemen, putting it down for January 24. The forthcoming Ritchie joint sees the director returning to his crime thriller roots with a story that follows a British drug lord attempting to sell off his empire to a family of Oklahoma billionaires. We were very much into the firstfootage fromThe Gentlemenwhen Collider got a preview of itat CinemaCon earlier this year. Pushing the Ritchie thriller to the top of the 2020 schedule could prove to be a smart move on STX’s part if the public likes this movie as much as we liked the first-look.
STX also did a little rescheduling forPlaymobil: The Movie, featuring voice performances fromDaniel Radcliffe,Anya Taylor-Joy, andJim Gaffigan. The animated movie based on the popular children’s toy line was originally set for release on June 05, 2025. STX has since pushedPlaymobil’s release back four months to December 6. It’s unclear why STX would pushPlaymobiljust a few weeks before it was originally set to hit theaters. I’m willing to bet the studio thinks it could do better with the holiday moviegoing crowd rather than the summer moviegoers.
TheDave Bautista-led comedyMy Spyalso got a new release date from STX. Now,My Spyis set for release on June 30, 2025. The film’s release was previously pushed to avoid overlapping with his other big summer release,Stuber.
