‘The Mummy’ New Movie To Open in 2027, ‘Miami ’85’ Now 2028
Universal Pictures is swapping around two big tentpoles on the calendar and it’s only because one is in more of a position to go then the other.
The Radio Silence directed revival of The Mummy with Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz reprising their roles as Rick and Evie O’Connell will now go on Friday, Oct. 15, 2027 instead of May 19, 2028. The only other title on that date is an untitled Paramount movie.
Previously, the Oct. 15, 2027 was being occupied by an untitled Blumhouse movie which now shifts to Friday, Oct. 8, 2027.
Meanwhile, the Joseph Kosinski directed Miami Vice ’85 starring Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler as detectives Ricardo Tubbs and Sonny Crocket will go later, moving from Aug. 6, 2027 to Friday, May 19, 2028. No other major motion picture studio titles are currently scheduled on that date. Note this is the weekend before Memorial Day weekend that year (May 26-29).
Additionally, Uni is reserving Aug. 6, 2027 for an untitled event movie. Uni has had great fortune with that first weekend in August, opening such pics as Fast & Furious spinoff, Hobbs & Shaw ($60M).
