Two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank's "Ordinary Angels" has landed a new date. The pic from Kingdom Studios and Lionsgate now will open wide on February 23.

Earlier this month, the movie was initially set to premiere on October 13 but was delayed as AMC’s "Taylor Swift: The New Eras Tour" looks to open to at least $70M off a female-heavy audience.

The movie is based on a true story of real-life heroism that saw a hairdresser rally a community together to save a dying child by clearing a path to reach her flight during the historic 1994 North American cold wave.

Swank stars as Sharon, the hairdresser who finds a purpose in life by aiding a widower (Alan Ritchson) and his two daughters in their darkest hour.

"Ordinary Angels" follows Sharon Stevens, a fierce but struggling hairdresser in small-town Kentucky who discovers a renewed sense of purpose when she meets Ed Schmitt (Ritchson), a widower working hard to make ends meet for his two daughters.

With his youngest daughter waiting for a liver transplant, Sharon sets her mind to helping the family and will move mountains to do it. What unfolds is the inspiring tale of faith, everyday miracles, and ordinary angels.

The cast also stars Nancy Travis, Tamala Jones, Amy Acker, Drew Powell, and Skywalker Hughes.

Jon Gunn directed the pic from a screenplay he co-wrote with Jon Erwin, Meg Tilly, and Kelly Fremon Craig.
