Greenland 2: Migration – in theaters January 9. Starring Gerard Butler, Morena Baccarin, and Roman Griffin Davis.
While all eyes are on awards season and the final weeks of the year, January will be here before we know it, and with it comes the annual crop of action movies that aren't getting summer releases. It's fascinating how January has gone from a dumping ground to a place where very specific genres tend to thrive, and it's not surprising that the two genres are mid-tier action movies and horror.
This January might be different, considering the state of the economy and whether anyone will have any money left over from the holidays, but if there is a film people are going to check out next month, and they're looking for action, it might be Greenland 2: Migration. The first one was so much better than anyone thought it was going to be, and the sequel is exploring the world after the disaster. A new international poster popped up online, and as we head into December, Lionsgate is probably going to start pushing this one harder.

Greenland was initially set to be a summer blockbuster, but the film kept getting pushed back as it became more and more apparent that this little virus thing was not going to be a quick thing that turned around. However, while the movie ultimately ended up skipping US theaters for a PVOD format in the fall, Greenland did release internationally in a couple of different countries. Starting in mid-July and through the rest of the summer and into the fall, Greenland would open in theaters across Europe, eventually gathering a worldwide box office of $52.3 million on a budget of $35 million. That box office gross does not include the PVOD numbers when the film was released digitally in October 2020 or the $20-$30 million the studio made from selling the streaming rights to HBO. The sequel, which would eventually be titled Greenland 2: Migration, was officially greenlit in June 2021.
