Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody is a Sony production that hits theaters on December 23. It was written by Anthony McCartan and directed by Cassie Lemmons.
The film stars Naomie Aki, Stanley Tucci, Ashton Sanders, Tamara Tunney, Nafisa Williams and Clark Peters.
According to What’s on Netflix, the new biopic, which hopes to follow in the footsteps of Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocketman in reviving Whitney Houston’s musical career, will hit the service on April 22, 2023.
In keeping with the first window deal Netflix struck in 2021 and starts in 2022, for all Sony Pictures films, the biopic will be released first on Netflix US. If not on the expected April date, then at the latest, the film will be available on Netflix US by June 2023.
Netflix India consistently receives new Sony movies 120 days after release, which means this movie will release around Spring 2023.
Netflix Canada and UK receive Sony movies 2 years after their theatrical release. It also applies to regions like Belgium, Greece, Japan, Poland, Spain, Sweden and South Africa.
This means that these regions will receive the film sometime in 2024 or 2025.
Other Sony Pictures films slated for release on Netflix in 2023 include The Woman King, Devotion, and Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile.
