White Bird, the Marc Forster-directed film adaptation of author R. J. Palacio’s sequel/prequel to his worldwide hit book and 2017 movie Wonder, has taken a long and circuitous route to finally getting a North American release.
Frustrating as it has been, this is a film that is well worth the wait and perhaps more timely now than ever. Shot in the Czech Republic in February 2021, White Bird was initially set as a wide release in September 2022, delayed a month to October then taken off Lionsgate’s release schedule entirely before either of those dates came around.
It was then scheduled for an August 2023 opening, but last year’s SAG strike meant another delay until it was finally set several months ago for its October 4 release this Friday.
In that time, one of its production companies, Participant, has gone out of business, and another, Mandeville Films, has seen the split of its partners Todd Lieberman and David Hoberman, who share producer credit here with Palacio.
