Mel Gibson’s Mark Wahlberg Thriller FLIGHT RISK Diverted To 2025

Well, this is a bummer. Lionsgate has announced that Mel Gibson‘s airborne thriller Flight Risk has been moved from its October 18th release date into 2025.

The Mark Wahlberg, Michelle Dockery and Topher Grace starring pic will now land on U.S. screens on January 24, 2025.

This new 2025 date is a little less crowded with only Mickey Mouse horror Screamboat and the Phoebe Dynevor/Rhys Ifans thriller, Inheritance currently set to open on that weekend.

Gibson’s thriller would have had to fight for flight in its October 18th date where Flight Risk would have had to face-off against horror sequel Smile 2, Sean Baker’s Palme d’Or winner Anora the drama pic Exhibiting Forgiveness. 

Flight Risk is an eagerly anticipated release for Movies In Focus – and it now looks like I’ll have to wait a little longer to see Mel Gibson’s latest directorial effort. 

Synopsis:

In this high-stakes suspense thriller, Academy Award® nominee Mark Wahlberg (Actor in a Supporting Role, 2006 – The Departed) plays a pilot transporting an Air Marshal (Michelle Dockery) accompanying a fugitive (Topher Grace) to trial. As they cross the Alaskan wilderness, tensions soar and trust is tested, as not everyone on board is who they seem.
