  • Sony scheduled a worldwide theatrical release for May 7, 2027, positioning the film as a major early-summer tentpole.
  • Under Sony’s expanded global Pay-1 agreement, the movie is expected to hit Netflix roughly 100 days after theaters with an 18-month first-run window.
  • Netflix confirmed Sony titles now stream on its ad-supported plan, so subscribers on that tier can watch the film on day one of its streaming run.
