EXCLUSIVE: Lionsgate‘s follow-up to the $315M global grossing feature Wonder, White Bird: A Wonder Story, will be returning to the theatrical release calendar with a new date of Oct. 4, 2024.

The pic will be counterprogramming to Warner Bros.’ sequel on that date, Joker: Folie a Deux.

White Bird is from director Marc Forster off a screenplay by Mark Bomback, based on the book by RJ Palacio. The movie was previously dated for an Aug. 18 limited release and Aug. 25 expansion, but had to delay its opening to next year due to the actors’ strike. The movie stars Helen Mirren and Gillian Anderson.

In White Bird, Bryce Gheisar reprises his role as Julian, who has struggled to belong ever since he was expelled from his former school for his treatment of Auggie. To transform his life, Julian’s grandmother (Helen Mirren) finally reveals to Julian her own story of courage — during her youth in Nazi-occupied France, a boy shelters her from mortal danger. They find first love in a stunning, magical world of their own creation, while the boy’s mother (Gillian Anderson) risks everything to keep her safe. 

This morning it was announced that Kingdom Story Company, who has been behind several faith-based Lionsgate hits, most recently Jesus Revolution, is teaming with the studio to leverage its reach to audiences in promoting White Bird.

White Bird is a Lionsgate presentation in association with Participant, Kingdom Story Company and Media Capital Technologies, as well as Mandeville Films production in association with 2DUX2 Productions.
