Lionsgate Pushes ‘The Furious’ Back Two Weeks to June 12

Lionsgate’s martial arts action thriller “The Furious” is getting a release date shift. The studio has moved the film from May 29 to June 12, 2026.

Directed by Kenji Tanigaki, the film follows Wang Wei (Xie Miao), a father whose daughter is kidnapped by a criminal network. When the corrupt police won’t help, he takes matters into his own hands. His only ally is Navin (Joe Taslim), a journalist whose wife has mysteriously disappeared. Together, they go on a violent hunt to take down the kidnappers.

The cast includes Xie Miao, Joe Taslim, Yang Enyou, Brian Le, and Joey Iwanaga. The screenplay comes from Mak Tin Shu, Lei Zhilong, Shum Kwan Sin, and Frank Hui. Bill Kong, Shan Tam, and Frank Hui produce.

The film clocks in at 113 minutes and carries an R rating for strong bloody violence and language.

The two-week delay likely gives Lionsgate more breathing room in the crowded summer lineup. For action fans looking for something grounded and brutal, this one’s now landing mid-June instead of the Memorial Day corridor.
