Steve Jobs Biopic Gets A Weird Release Date


It's not unusual for smaller projects to test the waters with a limited release before going wide, but having three distinct release dates for a single film seems like overkill. Universal Pictures has announced that they have changed the release strategy for Danny Boyle's Steve Jobs biopic, which now will open on three separate occasions in the US.

Written by Aaron Sorkin and starring Michael Fassbender, the biopic will first open in New York and Los Angeles on October 9, before expanding to others parts of the US on October 16, followed by a wide release on October 23. The strategy is quite different from the one originally announced, which had the film opening wide on October 9.

I can understand Universal being threatened by Ridley Scott's The Martian, which has been getting extremely positive reviews and will open a week before, but three different release dates seem a little excessive, especially considering the subject matter and amount of very well known talent behind and in front of the camera.

Steve Jobs also stars Kate Winslet, Seth Rogen, Jeff Daniels, Katherine Waterston, Adam Shapiro, John Ortiz, and Michael Stuhlbarg.
