Sony Sets '24 Jump Street' and 'Treasure Island' for 2027
Confirmed
In Short: Ridley Scott's 'Treasure Island,' a remake of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic pirate adventure, will hit theaters on November 11, 2027. Hugh Jackman leads the cast as Long John Silver, with Hugh Grant and Owen Cooper also starring.
Sony Pictures has announced new release dates for its upcoming films, including '24 Jump Street' and Ridley Scott's 'Treasure Island.' '24 Jump Street,' the third installment in the comedy series starring Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill, and Ice Cube, is set for release on December 10, 2027.
The movie 'Treasure Island' is based on a story of a young boy who finds a map to buried treasure. The script is written by Jack Thorne, known for his Emmy-winning work on 'Adolescence.
24 Jump Street' is directed by Rodney Rothman, who co-wrote the screenplay with Jonah Hill and Meghan Malloy. The film is set to open before Warner Bros’ 'Margie Claus' and Paramount’s 'Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow.
The release of 'Treasure Island' is driving the production schedule, pushing other films like Justin Lin’s 'Helldivers' to later dates. 'Helldivers,' based on the video game franchise, was originally set for November 11, 2027, but has been moved.
Sony Pictures is optimistic about these releases, hoping to capitalize on the holiday season with these highly anticipated films.
The studio's decision to shuffle release dates comes as major exhibitors are in town for Cinema United’s Fall Summit.
The new release dates reflect Sony's strategy to maximize box office potential during the holiday season.
The studio's announcement includes other films such as 'The Surgeon' starring Michelle Yeoh and 'Narcs,' starring Mason Thames and Ella Bright, which are also joining the 2027 release calendar.
