It's not January until we get a Gerard Butler-starring mid-tier action movie likely released by Lionsgate, and January 2026 won't be any different. This time, it's coming in the form of a sequel to Greenland , a film that was supposed to be a theatrical release back in 2020, but thanks to ongoing pandemic delays, it was eventually put on PVOD and streaming.
There's something about natural disaster movies that scratches very specific itches in people's brains, and Greenland 2: Migration looks like it's aiming for that same itch. The title and release date were confirmed back in August, along with a cast list and a release date. The first poster was released yesterday, and the first trailer will be released later today.

The film stars Gerard Butler, Morena Baccarin, Roman Griffin Davis, Amber Rose Revah, Sophie Thompson, Trond Fausa Aurvåg, and William Abadie. Lionsgate released a brief summary for Greenland 2: Migration: In the aftermath of a comet strike that decimated most of the earth, Greenland 2: Migration follows the Garrity family as they're forced to leave the safety of their bunker in Greenland to traverse a shattered world in search of a new home. Greenland 2: Migration will be released on January 9, 2026. #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-1 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-1 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode in wp-includes/media.php */ LOS ANGELES, CA – JUNE 7, 2025: Gerard Butler at the Premiere of How to Train Your Dragon at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.

Editorial credit: Fred Duval / Shutterstock.com The first film was released over the course of several months in 2020. 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.
