At a time when the major exhibitors are in town for Cinema United’s Fall Summit, Sony made a slew of release date adds and changes, chief among them is that Ridley Scott’s feature take of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island starring Hugh Jackman as Long John Silver is coming out on Nov. 11, 2027.
Also the Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill and Ice Cube reteam, 24 Jump Street, is driving into theaters on Dec. 10, 2027.
Also added is Sony’s recent TIFF acquisition of Thunder Road’s Michelle Yeoh action movie, The Surgeon on April 2, 2027 as well as the Mason Thames and Ella Bright starring Narcs on Aug. 20, 2027.
Shifting release dates are the Takashi Yamazaki directed (Godzilla Minus One) and Bad Robot production Grandgear which will go from Feb. 18, 2028 to MLK weekend Jan. 14, 2028.
The Justin Lin directed, Alan Ritchson starring Sony Playstation Production Helldivers is going from Nov. 10, 2027 to June 9, 2028. The reason why Helldivers moves is because Treasure Island is going into production first, hence that pic landing the Veterans Day date. Also, Helldivers is getting booked during the prime summer season.
The Surgeon comes from filmmaker Roshan Sethi, M.D. and follows Yeoh as an expert surgeon who is abducted and forced to operate on a mysterious patient, only to turn 35 years of surgical expertise against her captors and outwit them in a fight for survival. The movie is produced by Basil Iwanyk, Erica Lee, and Diarmaid McGrath of Thunder Road, Tango’s Tim Headington, Lia Buman, Tango’s Neil Shah, Steve Klinsky, Adam Kolbrenner of Lit Entertainment Group, John Schoenfelder, and Russell Ackerman. There’s an untitled Disney and Universal feature on April 2 next year alongside Surgeon.
The John Phillips directed Narcs is produced by Gene Stupnitsky via his Big Name Entertainment alongside Robert Lamonaca, who will executive produce. John Philips and Joseph Micucci are EPs. Also opening on Aug 20 next year is Paramount’s Get Lite from Teyana Taylor.
Treasure Island also stars Hugh Grant and Owen Cooper. Jack Thorne adapted the new take on the classic which follows a young boy who uncovers the map to a legendary buried treasure. He embarks on a perilous sea voyage to claim a hidden fortune, only to find himself locked in a deadly battle of wits with the charismatic and treacherous pirate Long John Silver. Scott and Michael Pruss are producing via their Scott Free banner. The movie will open before Warner Bros’ Margie Claus and Paramount’s Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow.

Grandgear will go up against Paramount’s Longlegs sequel on Jan. 14, 2028 as well as an untitled Universal movie and Amazon MGM Studio’s Alone at Dawn.
Helldivers will land on the same weekend as a united Universal event film and UA/Amazon MGM Studios/Amblin’s internet horror feature The Mandela Catalogue. PlayStation’s Helldivers received critical acclaim when the game first came out in 2015, and the sequel, Helldivers 2, sold more than 12 million units across PS5 and PC in the first four months after its launch in 2024.
