The 2025 release date for The Life of Chuck has been revealed. The movie is the latest Stephen King work to be adapted by Mike Flanagan and stars Tom Hiddleston as the titular Charles “Chuck” Krantz. The Life of Chuck‘s cast also includes Mark Hamill, Nick Offerman, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Karen Gillan. It has already created considerable buzz, especially after winning the People’s Choice Award at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival.
Neon has now confirmed that The Life of Chuck will be released in theaters on May 30, 2025. It was previously announced that Neon acquired the rights for a summer 2025 theatrical release following the positive reception and award-winning recognition at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival. The Life of Chuck will be making its theatrical debut on May 30 alongside Karate Kid: Legends, which stars both Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan.
What This Means For The Life Of Chuck
Its Release Date Is Ideal Timing
Flanagan’s successful track record with adapting King’s stories was enough to make The Life of Chuck highly anticipated, along with a cast that features Hiddleston and Hamill. That anticipation only skyrocketed following the many positive Life of Chuck reviews released after the movie’s film festival debut. The Life of Chuck will not only be getting a summer 2025 release, but will come to theaters relatively early in the summer, and before blockbusters like the live-action How to Train Your Dragon, Jurassic World Rebirth, Superman, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps take the spotlight.

The Life of Chuck is unlikely to be the top-performing movie at the box office during its opening weekend due to the competition from Karate Kids: Legends. However, The Life of Chuck‘s emotional story has already won over audiences who have seen it, proven by its ability to win the People’s Choice Award over Emilia Pérez, Anora, and other well-received movies. The theatrical reception will likely be overwhelmingly positive as well, leading to good word of mouth that could help the movie do well at the box office.
