What is the Release Date for Kraven the Hunter?
Kraven the Hunter was originally scheduled for release on January 13, 2023. However, it was pushed back to October 6, 2023 and then August 30, 2024, before receiving an official date in December 2024.
The delays were due to the studio hoping to prevent the movie from competing with other big films at the box office.
It has since been announced that Kraven the Hunter will arrive in movie theaters on December 13, 2024, in the US, UK, Ireland, Poland, Spain, Japan, and Sweden. It will be available to watch in IMAX and premium large formats.
Also, the film will arrive on the silver screen on December 12, 2024, in Canada, Australia, Germany, Brazil, Hungary, Ecuador, Italy, Mexico, and Argentina.
December is an ideal month to maximize ticket sales, as audiences are more likely to enjoy repeat viewings throughout Christmas.
