Damien Chazelle’s upcoming Babylon will now open everywhere on Dec. 23, Paramount announced Tuesday.
The film — with a star-packed cast that includes Margot Robbie and Brad Pitt — was previously set to only open in select theaters on Dec. 25 before expanding nationwide on Jan. 6.
Set in late 1920s Hollywood during the movie industry’s transition from silent films to talkies, Babylon explores the rise and fall of multiple characters and has been described as “The Great Gatsby on steroids.”
The move came a day after Sony delayed A Man Called Otto from Christmas to January 2023. The movie hopes to serve as counter-programming for Avatar: The Way of Water, which opens wide on Dec. 16.
More to come.
