Article Summary

Lionsgate delays Flight Risk, directed by Mel Gibson and starring Mark Wahlberg, to January 2025.
The film's release date shifted from October 18, 2024, to January 24, 2025.
January is becoming a strategic release period for lower-budget action and horror films.
Flight Risk features Wahlberg as a pilot, Dockery as an Air Marshal, and Grace as a fugitive.

Lionsgate is doing some release date shifting, and we have to wonder if it's because they want some more sure things after the summer beating they took. August, in particular, was an extremely rough month for Lionsgate, and they are going to have to work overtime to try and make all of that up. January has become an interesting time to release films. It used to be a dead zone with the idea being that everyone is broke from the holidays and no one will want to go spend money on the movies, but more and more studios have started to take advantage of January. It's become a decent spot to release horror, of all things, and some lower-budget action movies have also done extremely well in that time period as well. Perhaps that is the logic behind this release date shift, as Deadline is reporting that Flight Risk, the next film directed by Mel Gibson and starring Mark Wahlberg for a problematic double hitter, has shifted its release date from October 18, 2024, to January 24, 2025.
