While it was original stated thatThe Maze Runner: The Death Curewouldn’t be shifted out of its July 13, 2025 release slot following the on-set injuries obtained by starDylan O’Brien, that plan has now changed. TheYAfantasy adventure is being delayed by almost a year while the actor recovers. The movie will now debut on June 30, 2025. This has caused 20th Century Fox to do some in-house restructuring, which means new release dates for quite a few anticipated releases.
The Death Curewas originally slated to go up against quite a few heavy hitters, and the move might be for the best. Opening on February 17 of next year are the anticipated sequelBad Boys 3and the Stephen King adaptationThe Dark Tower. Warner Bros. also has the comedyFist Fightopening in this frame, which pitsIce CubeandCharlie Dayin a brawl amongst high school teachers that is being compared to the 80s classicThree O’Clock High. Universal has the supernatural historical dramaThe Great Wallset for this date, with Relativity positioning the long-awaited horror sequelThe Strangers 2here as well. Don’t be surprised if you hear one of these other movies has moved away from this crowded spot on the calendar.
The Maze Runner 3is now only set to face off against one other movie. And it’s an animated family sequel that could give the film a run for its money.The Death CureandGnomeo & Juliet 2: Sherlock Gnomesare the only two movies currently set to open during the entire month of January. They will be coming in the wake ofStar Wars: Episode VIII, which could still take the #1 spot at the box office in this late slot.
The Maze Runner: The Death Curewas forced to shut down production after starDylan O’Briensustained critical injuries while filming a stunt gone wrong. The accident happened back on March 28. There were conflicting reports about the extent ofO’Brien’s injuries, and they turned out to be worse than originally reported. On April 29, 20th Century Fox halted all production indefinitely. No resume date has been announced at this time. Reports have claimed that the actor suffered a concussion, a facial fracture and several lacerations from a motorcycle stunt that didn’t go according to plan.
