Sony Locks 2027 Holiday Slate with 'Treasure Island' and '24 Jump Street'

Key points

• Sony set 'Treasure Island' for Nov. 11, 2027, and '24 Jump Street' for Dec. 10, 2027.
• Ridley Scott directs 'Treasure Island,' starring Hugh Jackman as Long John Silver, with a script by Jack Thorne.
• Rodney Rothman directs '24 Jump Street,' with Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum, and Ice Cube reprising their roles.
• Sony shifted 'Helldivers' to June 9, 2028, and moved 'Grandgear' up to Jan. 14, 2028.
• Michelle Yeoh’s 'The Surgeon' and the comedy 'Narcs' are also slated for 2027 releases.

Background

Sony had previously indicated interest in these projects, with '24 Jump Street' confirmed in June 2026 and 'Treasure Island' announced in July 2026. The studio has been actively reshuffling its 2027-2028 calendar to maximize box office potential and production timelines.

How outlets are covering it

All four sources (TheWrap, Variety, Gizmodo, Deadline) agree on the core release dates and key personnel. Variety and Deadline emphasize the strategic placement of 'Treasure Island' before other major studio releases, while Gizmodo highlights the shift of 'Helldivers' to a prime summer slot. TheWrap notes the involvement of Phil Lord and Chris Miller as producers for '24 Jump Street,' a detail not explicitly mentioned in the other sources.

Why it matters

These release dates signal Sony’s confidence in high-profile tentpole films for the 2027 holiday season and indicate a strategic reshuffling of its 2028 slate to accommodate production schedules and competitive positioning against other major studio releases.

What to watch

Production for 'Treasure Island' is expected to begin soon, given its earlier release date. '24 Jump Street' will likely follow, with both films targeting the 2027 holiday window. 'Helldivers' and 'Grandgear' will proceed with their new 2028 schedules, with 'Grandgear' now competing against Paramount’s 'Longlegs' sequel in January 2028.
