Sony Locks 2027 Dates for Treasure Island and 24 Jump Street Amid Calendar Shuffles
Sony Pictures has finalized release dates for several major 2027 theatrical releases, including Ridley Scott’s Treasure Island and the comedy sequel 24 Jump Street. The studio also adjusted the schedules for Helldivers and Grandgear to optimize box office performance and production timelines.
Key points
- Ridley Scott’s Treasure Island is set for November 11, 2027, starring Hugh Jackman as Long John Silver.
- 24 Jump Street will release on December 10, 2027, featuring Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum, and Ice Cube.
- The video game adaptation Helldivers has been delayed to June 9, 2028, following the departure of Jason Momoa.
- Grandgear, directed by Takashi Yamazaki, has moved up to January 14, 2028, to align with the MLK weekend.
- The Surgeon, starring Michelle Yeoh, is scheduled for April 2, 2027, after its Toronto International Film Festival premiere.
Background
Ridley Scott is currently preparing to shoot Treasure Island following the release of The Dog Stars, as noted in August 2026. The studio’s 2027 calendar also includes other high-profile titles, such as the Pokémon film Wild Card, which was announced in August 2026.
How outlets are covering it
All outlets agree on the core release dates, but Deadline provides additional context on the scheduling logic. Deadline notes that Treasure Island’s November date was prioritized to allow production to begin before Helldivers, which was pushed to summer 2028 to capitalize on prime season. The Hollywood Reporter and TheWrap focus on the cast and creative teams, while Deadline highlights the competitive landscape, noting that 24 Jump Street is the only title currently scheduled for its December 10, 2027, release date.
Why it matters
These scheduling decisions reflect Sony’s strategy to maximize box office potential by aligning major releases with high-traffic periods, such as the MLK weekend and the summer season. The delay of Helldivers also highlights the impact of casting changes on production timelines, a common challenge in large-scale adaptations.
What to watch
Sony will likely continue to adjust its 2027 and 2028 calendars as production schedules and casting decisions evolve. The studio may also announce additional release dates for other projects, such as the untitled Disney and Universal features scheduled for April 2, 2027.
