Mickey 17 on the 18th of April 2025 will be released in IMAX theaters all across the globe. The multiple pushbacks of the movie were slightly disappointing for the fans who are eagerly waiting for the release but one of the main reasons for pushing the release date of the movie further back was to make it available for the audience in IMAX as one of the studio spokesmen explained how they quickly secured April 18th as the release date as soon as it became available. He also explained how thrilled the studio is with the new date and how happy they are as the movie will now be globally available for the audience in IMAX. It would be interesting to see if Bong Joon-Ho manages to do it again and if the movie proves to be worth the long wait.
