After a rave response to Sofia Coppola's Priscilla film out of its Venice Film Festival premiere, A24 has moved the awards player's release date.
Deadline is reporting that Priscilla will now go wide on November 3, not October 27. This may be due to Dune: Part Two moving to March 2024, which opens more theatrical windows. This shift will also give Coppola and A24 more room to breathe amid Taylor Swift's “Eras” tour concert film doing numbers earlier in October.
Priscilla, not to be confused with Baz Luhrmann's Elvis, is based on the novel, Elvis and Me, by Priscilla Presley and Sandra Harmon. It stars Cailee Spaeney as the titular character, and Euphoria star Jacob Elordi as Elvis. Dagmara Domińczyk also stars in the film as Ann Beaulieu.
Unlike Elvis, Priscilla will dig into the complicated relationship between the two — something Luhrmann's film decided to brush over.




The film premiered on September 4 at the Venice Film Festival — debuting to a 94% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes (based on 33 reviews). Priscilla will next make its way to the New York Film Festival on October 6 as one of the Centerpiece Selection films. After that, A24 will release it to the public on November 3.
Sofia Coppola, daughter of The Godfather director Francis Ford Coppola, is an acclaimed director in her own right. Films like Lost in Translation (which won her a Best Original Screenplay Oscar) and Marie Antoinette have garnered critical acclaim. Her last film, On the Rocks, reunited her with Lost in Translation star Bill Murray, and also starred Rashida Jones.
Priscilla will be released on November 3.
