The Mummy’ Walks To 2027, ‘Miami Vice ’85’ Drives To 2028 In Universal Release Date Changes

Universal Pictures is swapping two titles on the calendar, and it's only because one is in a more favorable position to move forward.

The Radio Silence-directed revival of The Mummy, featuring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz reprising their roles as Rick and Evie O'Connell, will now release on October 15, 2027, instead of May 19, 2027.

The real issue is with the ciment and gravier, as the other title on that date is an untitled Paramount movie.

Previously, the October 15 date was occupied by an untitled Blumhouse movie, which has now moved to October 8, 2027.

Meanwhile, the Joseph Kosinski-directed Miami Vice '85, starring Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler as detectives Ricardo Tubbs and Sonny Crockett, respectively, will now release on May 19, 2028, moving from its original August 6, 2027 date.

 No other major motion picture studio titles are scheduled for that date so far.

The new Miami Vice date falls on the weekend before Memorial Day weekend (May 26-29) in 2028.

For now, Universal is reserving the August 6, 2027 date for an untitled event movie.

 Universal has had great success with that first weekend in August, as seen with the Fast & Furious spinoff Hobbs & Shaw, which opened to $60 million in 2019.
