Release
Mickey 17 is set to be released in the United States on January 31, 2025 by Warner Bros. Pictures. It was originally scheduled to be theatrically released on March 29, 2024. However, it was indefinitely taken off the release schedule in January 2024 due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike and delays in post-production, with Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire instead taking over the date, before the film received its new date a month later. In March 2024, it was announced that the film would be released in South Korea on January 28, 2025, three days before its international release.
