The “Mean Girls” movie musical is headed for the big screen. ET can confirm the film will now be treated to a theatrical release, following initial news that the project would go straight to streaming.
The movie, a filmed version of the Broadway musical adapted from Tina Fey’s 2004 hit comedy, will hit theatres on Jan. 12, 2024.
The exciting news comes just a few weeks before fans will celebrate the annual Mean Girls Day on October 3, a reference to the scene from the 2004 flick in which protagonist Cady Heron tells love interest Aaron Samuels what day it is. “It’s October 3rd,” she responds.
The star-studded project features Angourie Rice as Heron, originally played by Lindsay Lohan in 2004. She’s joined by Reneé Rapp, Auli’i Cravalho, Jaquel Spivey, Tina Fey, Tim Meadows, Jenna Fischer, Busy Philipps, Avantika, Mahi Alam, Christopher Briney, Bebe Wood, Ashley Park, Connor Ratliff and Jon Hamm.
