The film will be released in theaters in our country on the launch day of Monster Hunter Rise for Nintendo Switch, on March 26.
Sony Pictures Spain has confirmed that the Monster Hunter movie will not be released in theaters this January 29, as originally planned, but on March 26. The production company of the film, an original feature film based on the Capcom license, has made this decision for unknown reasons. The new release date coincides with the release of the long-awaited Monster Hunter Rise for Nintendo Switch.
Despite the numerous delays, several of them caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which prevents the normal flow of work in movie theaters and the presence of spectators in many centers, it will finally be screened on the same day as the new iteration of the Japanese company’s action, role-playing and adventure series on the hybrid console.
