“A Big Beautiful Journey” is taking a journey of its own.
The Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell-led drama, which was originally dated for a May 9 release, is moving to September 19. This will make the film a key bit of counterprogramming in the horror-heavy pre-Halloween corridor. The date change will also give Sony time to make it a true female event movie, something they have experience with (“It Ends With Us” made over $350 million worldwide).
The movie is described as “an original tale of two strangers and the extraordinary emotional journey that connects them.”
“A Big Beautiful Journey” was directed by Kogonada (“After Yang”) and was written by Seth Reiss. It was produced by Dan Friedkin, Bradley Thomas, Ryan Friedkin, Reiss and Youree Henley. Kogonada, Ilene Feldman and Ori Eisen serve as executive producers. The supporting cast includes Lily Rabe, Jodie Turner-Smith, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and Hamish Linklater.
On September 19, “A Big Beautiful Journey” will now face off against Universal’s Jordan Peele-produced horror movie “Him” and Disney’s “Ella McCay,” from James L. Brooks.
