‘Charlie’s Angels’ Runs From ‘Terminator: Dark Fate’, Will Arrive Two Weeks Later In November
Last fall,Wonder Woman 1984jumped far away from its original early November release date to the summer of 2020. As soon as that happened, the August 09, 2025 date was claimed by both the new big screen take onCharlie’s Angelsand the upcoming sequelTerminator: Dark Fate. Neither property was willing to blink in this scenario…until now.
Charlie’s Angelshas vacated the first weekend in November in favor of theNovember 15, 2019. And that will likely be a good thing for the Sony Pictures release, since it’s a sweet spot that many movies have done well in before.
Originally,Charlie’s Angelswanted to stake out that first November weekend because, according toDeadline, that’s exactly when the last big screen adaptation starring Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu hit theaters 19 years ago. But that nice little nostalgic reasoning has been terminated by Paramount’s presence there. But this will probably work out better for Charlie’s Angels in the end.
The mid-November window is a perfect window for big movies to get released. It avoids joining the crowd of holiday releases right at Thanksgiving, but will still be around when families start swarming theaters after chowing down on some turkey. Both theTwilightandThe Hunger Gamesfranchise took advantage of that release window with great success, so hopefullyCharlie’s Angelscan follow suit.
If you haven’t been keeping up withCharlie’s Angels, the film starsKristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, andElla Balinskaas the titular elite force employed by a mysterious man named Charlie, who gives them assignments from a voicebox in their office. Meanwhile, the film’s directorElizabeth Bankswill be playing their handler Bosley, a role that will somehow also be played byPatrick StewartandDjimon Hounsouin the movie as well. The plot is mostly under wraps, and we’re still waiting for an official first look.
In the new release date,Charlie’s Angelswill be facing off with James Mangold’sFord vs. Ferrari, Warner Bros. Pictures' thrillerThe Good Liar, Universal’s romantic comedyLast Christmas, and an untitled horror movie from Orion Pictures. And the competition is much less strong than a newTerminatormovie, so it should have no problem taking off there.
