Paramount has given new release dates to Better Man and September 5.
Better Man is the new semi-biographical movie about Robbie Williams that portrays the British pop singer as a chimpanzee. The movie was originally going to open in limited theaters on December 25, 2024, and then receive a wider release on January 17, 2025.
Per Deadline, Better Man will still open in select theaters on Christmas; however, it will now expand a little sooner, as it will receive a nationwide release on January 10, 2025.
“Better Man is based on the true story of the meteoric rise, dramatic fall, and remarkable resurgence of British pop superstar Robbie Williams, one of the greatest entertainers of all time,” the synopsis for the movie reads. “Under the visionary direction of Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman), the film is uniquely told from Robbie’s perspective, capturing his signature wit and indomitable spirit. It follows Robbie’s journey from childhood, to being the youngest member of chart-topping boyband Take That, through to his unparalleled achievements as a record-breaking solo artist – all the while confronting the challenges that stratospheric fame and success can bring.”
When is the new release date for September 5?
September 5, meanwhile, is a new historical drama about the 1972 Munich Olympic hostage crisis. The film was originally going to open in limited theaters on November 29, 2024, before expanding on December 13, 2024.
Now, September 5 will get a limited theatrical release on December 13, 2024, before it expands across the country on January 17, 2025.
“September 5 unveils the decisive moment that forever changed media coverage and continues to impact live news today,” the synopsis reads. “Set during the 1972 Munich Summer Olympics, the film follows an American Sports broadcasting team that quickly adapted from sports reporting to live coverage of the Israeli athletes taken hostage. Through this lens, September 5 provides a fresh perspective on the live broadcast seen globally by an estimated one billion people at the time.”
