New Regency‘s Jeff Nichols movie The Bikeriders, which we were told Focus Features took over from Disney, has set a release date of June 21, 2024.
The only other title currently scheduled on that weekend is an untitled movie from Universal.
The movie starring Austin Butler, Jodie Comer, Tom Hardy and Norman Reedus, follows the rise of a midwestern motorcycle club, the Vandals. Seen through the lives of its members, the club evolves over the course of a decade from a gathering place for local outsiders into a more sinister gang, threatening the original group’s unique way of life.
Bikeriders made its world premiere at Telluride and notched 85% fresh with critics on Rotten Tomatoes.
20th Century Studios was originally set to release the crime drama last weekend, Dec. 1-3, however, the actors strike this past fall got in the way of the movie raising its profile further.
Focus Features previously teamed with Nichols on his drama Loving, which made its world premiere at Cannes in 2016 and notched a Best Actress Oscar nomination for Ruth Negga.
