Emilia Pérez is an upcoming musical comedy thriller film by director Jacques Audiard. It recently premiered at the 77th annual Cannes Film Festival where it courted a positive reaction from critics and fans. The film also features Selena Gomez in a pivotal role, which has fans wondering when the film will be released in the United States.
Here’s all the Emilia Pérez release date information we know so far, and all the details on when it is coming out.
Is there an Emilia Pérez release date?
Emilia Pérez’s US release date could arrive sometime in the second-half of 2024.
After its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on May 18, the film received an August 28, 2024 release date in France only. There is no confirmation yet about the film’s release date in the United States. However, it is likely to come out sometime closer to its release in France taking into consideration the hype that the film is creating due to its star-studded cast including Selena Gomez and Zoe Saldana, among others.
According to Deadline, one main reason for a delayed U.S. release could be that the current distributor of the film, Pathé is based in France and only has a number of cinema chains through its subsidiary Pathé Cinémas across Europe. So, until a distributor in the United States takes up the job, there will be no confirmed U.S. release date for the film. Nonetheless, we could see a U.S. release date confirmation in the coming months, leading up to its French release in August.
This date is an estimation based on the information we have at the time of this writing.
This musical comedy/crime drama film will star Selena Gomez as Jessie del Monte, Zoe Saldaña as Rita Mora Castro, Karla Sofía Gascón as Emilia Pérez, and Edgar Ramírez as Gustavo Brun, among others.
Where is Emilia Pérez coming out?
Emilia Pérez is anticipated to come out in theaters on August 28, 2024 (in France only).
This is because a release date for France came out after the film’s premiere at the 77th Cannes Film Festival on May 18, 2024. There are no plans as of now for an OTT release before a theatrical release. Additionally, a U.S. release date is yet to come out first.
The official synopsis for Emilia Pérez reads:
“Rita, an underrated lawyer working for a large law firm more interested in getting criminals out of jail than bringing them to justice, is hired by the leader of a criminal organization.”
