What does this mean for good luck

Lionsgate is releasing another major movie that month

Good luck wasn’t the only Lionsgate film to announce a release date for next year. This week, it was also revealed that the distributor’s upcoming biopic Miguel should postpone its release date from April 2025 to October 3. This change in release date was not due to any production delays, but rather Lionsgate’s desire to position Miguel closer to primetime awards season. With a release date of October 17th, Good luck will come just two weeks after the musical biopic. This could pit the two films against each other at the box office in October 2025.

Miguel is not the only film that Good luck will have to compete with next year. At the time of writing, Good luck will be released on the same day as Scott Derrickson’s horror sequel The black phone 2. The black phone performed well critically and at the box office upon its release, so its successor is predicted to be a formidable box office contender during its pre-Halloween 2025 release date. Good luck will therefore face significant box office competition how to stand up against both Miguel and The black phone 2.

Our Take on Good Fortune Release Date

This is not a good sign for the film’s performance

Lionsgate placement Miguel and Good luck so close may not bode well for the Ansari film. While the Miguel the change in release date definitely made sense for the biopic, Good luckThe upcoming release date could mean Lionsgate has less faith in the action comedy. Centering around one of the most beloved and controversial musicians of all time, Miguel could easily eclipse Good luck as its third weekend in theaters coincides with Good luckis the first. Unfortunately, this appears to be a risk that Lionsgate is willing to take, leaving the Reeves-led film with a difficult challenge to overcome.
