Title
Reported: Lizard Music sets Christmas 2027 theatrical release
Summary
The Hollywood Reporter reports that Benny Safdie’s Dwayne Johnson-led hybrid feature will open in theaters on December 25, 2027 via Amazon MGM.
Text
## Evidence label: Reported
The Hollywood Reporter reports that Amazon MGM Studios will release **Lizard Music** in theaters on **December 25, 2027**. The film is directed and written by Benny Safdie, adapts Daniel Pinkwater’s novel, and is led by Dwayne Johnson.
The release-date report also identifies the project as a hybrid live-action/CGI feature and lists a cast including Theo Clark Leber, Alicia Silverstone, Tim Heidecker, Regina Hall, Colman Domingo, Jeff Goldblum, Rachel McAdams, Andrew Dice Clay and David Krumholtz.
## Why it matters
The Christmas 2027 date places Lizard Music on a defined theatrical-release track rather than leaving it at the package or casting stage. It is a meaningful signal for release-watch, but it is not a guarantee that the date will hold: distributors can move dates, and Amazon MGM’s announcement is reported here through trade coverage rather than a directly accessible studio release.
## Context
Deadline previously reported the United Artists/Amazon MGM package and has continued to report casting developments, including the October voice-cast additions. Those reports support the project’s status and scale; the December 25, 2027 date is the new development covered here.
Reel Radar will mark the Movie File as **Reported** until Amazon MGM or United Artists publishes a direct release notice.
