The Current War: Thanksgiving Release in US

Variety reports that The Current War, which was originally slated to be released on December 22, 2017, will instead be released on November 24, 2017 for a Thanksgiving release.

“The Current War” stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Thomas Edison and Michael Shannon as George Westinghouse, and centers on their race to find a way to offer electricity to consumers. Alfonso Gomez‐Rejon (“Me and Earl and the Dying Girl”) directs the picture from a script by playwright Michael Mitnick. It’s expected to get a major awards push from the indie studio.
