Amazon MGM Studios has delayed the Timur Bekmambetov-directed sci-fi thriller "Mercy," starring Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson, from August 15, 2025, to January 23, 2026.
The move will leave Universal’s Bob Odenkirk action movie "Nobody 2" standing alone on that date for now. On its new date, "Mercy" stands unopposed, coming a week after the MLK 2026 theatrical releases: "Weapons" from Warner Bros, Sony’s 28 "Years Later: The Bone Temple", and an untitled movie from Disney.
Set in the near future when capital crime has increased, "Mercy" follows a detective (Pratt) who is accused of a violent crime and forced to prove his innocence.
The cast also stars Kali Reis (True Detective: Night Country), Annabelle Wallis (Blinders, The Mummy), Chris Sullivan (This Is Us), Kenneth Choi (9-1-1), Kylie Rogers (Beau is Afraid), Rafi Gavron (A Star is Born), and Jeff Pierre (Walker).
Marco van Belle (Arthur & Merlin) wrote the movie. The project came to Amazon MGM from producer Charles Roven (American Hustle), who earned an Oscar for Best Picture on Oppenheimer last year.
He is producing "Mercy" with Atlas Entertainment executive Robert Amidon, alongside Bekmambetov and Majd Nassif.
Pratt starred in the highly viewed feature film "The Tomorrow War" on Prime Video during Covid.
