Sony Pictures has moved the release date for the movie adaptation of Monster Hunter up by one week.
Instead of Christmas Day, the film will now arrive in theaters Dec. 18.
This isn't the first time Monster Hunter has shifted release dates. The film was originally scheduled to arrive in September but was pushed to April 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Then, it was moved up to Dec. 30 and was subsequently bumped up to the 25th in November.
Behind our world, there is another: a world of dangerous and powerful monsters that rule their domain with deadly ferocity. When an unexpected sandstorm transports Captain Artemis (Milla Jovovich) and her unit (TI Harris, Meagan Good, Diego Boneta) to a new world, the soldiers are shocked to discover that this hostile and unknown environment is home to enormous and terrifying monsters immune to their firepower. In their desperate battle for survival, the unit encounters the mysterious Hunter (Tony Jaa), whose unique skills allow him to stay one step ahead of the powerful creatures. As Artemis and Hunter slowly build trust, she discovers that he is part of a team led by the Admiral (Ron Perlman). Facing a danger so great it could threaten to destroy their world, the brave warriors combine their unique abilities to band together for the ultimate showdown.
Written, directed and produced by Paul W.S. Anderson, Monster Hunter stars Milla Jovovich, Ron Perlman, TI, Tony Jaa, Meagan Good and Diego Boneta. The film arrives in theaters on Dec. 4 in the United Kingdom and on Dec. 18 in the United States.
