February 3rd 2017 Is Now The Release Date For 'The Space Between Us'

 

STX Entertainment has confirmed plans to postpone The Space Between Us to February 3, 2017. Word of the last-minute delay confirms that the Peter Chelsom-directed adventure has now uprooted from its original December 16 slot.

The Space Between Us simply needed to put some distance between it and its genre contemporaries, or risk fizzling out in one of the most crowded corridors on the Hollywood calendar. Don’t forget that late December is also playing host to heavy-hitters in the vein of La La Land, Assassin’s Creed and Peter Berg’s Patriots Day.

In light of the delay, The Space Between Us now shares a release date with heist drama Collide and the long-in-development Rings from Paramount. Asa Butterfield is attached to spearhead the Martian drama as Gardner Elliot, a brainy teenager marooned on the Red Planet after his mother dies during childbirth. Also starring Britt Robertson and Gary Oldman, Peter Chelsom’s YA drama then chronicles his journey back to Earth, and the nerve-wracking process of assimilating into a society that is completely alien to Butterfield’s lead.

The Space Between Us will now dock in theaters on February 3, 2017.
