Paramount+ Sets Release Date for The Running Man Remake

The 2025 remake of The Running Man, based on the Stephen King story and starring Glen Powell, unfortunately didn’t attract the crowds it hoped for. While critics gave it a thumbs up, the box office numbers fell short of expectations, with a $110 million budget only yielding $69 million in revenue. Even though it wasn’t a financial success, the film has a second chance to shine on Paramount+.

Luckily, fans who missed it in theaters will soon get their chance to stream The Running Man. The movie is set to premiere on January 13, so mark your calendars! Director Edgar Wright has a knack for creating cult hits, even if they don’t initially make a splash at the box office. Remember Scott Pilgrim vs The World? A classic!

Speaking of classics, some of us (myself included) missed The Running Man during its theatrical run. But fear not, Paramount+ is here to save the day. With Wright at the helm and Powell leading the charge, this remake has the potential to win over a whole new audience. So get ready to hit play on January 13 and see what all the fuss is about. And let’s not forget, it’s always a good time to bask in the glory of Scott Pilgrim vs The World.
