Channing Tatum and Steven Soderbergh confirm theatrical release date for 'Magic Mike's Last Dance'

Channing Tatum will once again strip naked on the big screen.

The 'Magic Mike's Last Dance' star has confirmed that the third film will hit theaters on February 10, 2023, Super Bowl weekend. The feature film directed by Steven Soderbergh was originally scheduled to be released on the HBO Max streaming platform.

Deadline reported that there will be a window between theatrical and streaming availability for the final episode of “Magic Mike.”

Lead star and producer Tatum previously announced that the third "Magic Mike" movie will be bigger, better and sexier than ever. "We're kind of swinging for the fences – there's never going to be another need for another strip movie after this one," Tatum teased. "We're trying to do a fish out of water story where it's a role-reversed 'Pretty Woman' story that ends with a lot of dancing."

"Magic Mike's Last Dance" will be a "pretty bonkers" take on a classic '90s rom-com, as Tatum has previously stated. Reid Carolin, producing partner, has previously said that "Magic Mike 3" will be about "a woman stuck in an awful strip show like a Chippendales and then realizing, 'What the hell am I doing here?' to be rescued by Magic Mike (Tatum). "She goes down the rabbit hole and asks, what do I really want?" Carolin added.

"Magic Mike's Last Dance" marks Tatum's farewell to his stripper persona who fans first encountered onscreen in 2012. Since then, the franchise has spawned the star-studded sequel" Magic Mike XXL" and a tour, "Magic Mike Live". Tatum assured the audience that the famous "water dance" from the live show will receive a special ode in "Last Dance".

"I have a pretty crazy dance that opens the movie," Tatum explained. “We start off pretty strong and then at the end I might do a version of the water dance in the show. There's a splash zone in the movie, so it's for real."

The origin of the third film can be traced to director Soderbergh, who convinced Tatum to go for a "Last Dance" as Magic Mike.

"In my opinion, we had chewed all the meat on the bone, story-wise," Tatum told IndieWire. "We hadn't planned to do a second one. Then all of our supporting characters were so good and fun that we thought, "Let's make another movie and give these characters more real estate than we didn't have before." Once we did that, it felt like there was no other story. . Let's get out of jail like this."
