Three more films have been added to Lionsgate’s release schedule.
Mel Gibson’s aviation thriller “Flight Risk,” starring Mark Wahlberg, is scheduled to open on October 18, 2024. Dave Bautista’s action-comedy “The Killer’s Game” will open on September 13, 2024. On January 10, 2025, Gerard Butler’s follow-up film “Den of Thieves: Pantera” will premiere.
“Flight Risk,” starring Mark Wahlberg as a crazed and balding mob hitman who connives to fool a federal investigator into letting him pilot a plane that is transporting an informant (Topher Grace) out of a remote area, is slated to make its big screen premiere with Paramount’s “Smile 2.” Gibson and Wahlberg, who previously collaborated in “Father Stu” and “Daddy’s Home 2,” are reunited in the film.
The Universal horror remake “Speak No Evil,” starring James McAvoy, and “The Killer’s Game” are scheduled to premiere on the same day. This story, which is an adaptation of Jay R. Bonansinga’s book of the same name, follows professional hitman Joe Flood (Bautista) as he chooses to take matters into his own hands after learning that he has a terminal illness. But before it’s too late, he has to fight off an army of assassin colleagues and win back the love of his life as the very hitmen he hired also target his ex-girlfriend (Sofia Boutella). The remaining cast members include Terry Crews, Scott Adkins, Pom Klementieff, and Ben Kingsley. “The Killer’s Game” was directed by JJ Perry, based on a screenplay by James Coyne and Rand Ravich.
The sole film scheduled to open on January 10 is “Den of Thieves: Pantera,” while more may be added before the conclusion of the current year. The writer and director of the 2018 heist thriller “Den of Thieves,” Christian Gudegast, is back to write and direct the follow-up. Butler returns in the role of Big Nick, a tough Los Angeles police officer who is currently searching for Donnie (O’Shea Jackson Jr.), an ex-marine turned robber who gets entangled in the scheme of a huge theft of the largest diamond exchange in the world.
