Lionsgate Pushes Up Release Date For Gerard Butler Actioner ‘Plane’
deadline.comLionsgate has pushed up the release date for its Gerard Butler-led action-thriller Plane by two weeks. The film previously scheduled for January 27 will now open wide on January 13, 2023.
While the upcoming film directed by Jean-François Richet (Assault on Precinct 13) was previously set to open against Vertical Entertainment’s Maybe I Do, Universal Picture’s Distant and IFC Films’ Worlds Apart with Bob Odenkirk, it will now contend on its opening weekend with Warner Bros.’ House Party reboot, Columbia Pictures’ A Man Called Otto starring Tom Hanks and Samuel Goldwyn Films’ The Devil Conspiracy.
