May 19, 2028 — Crockett and Tubbs get a pastel ’85 Friday, not a 2006 remake
Miami Vice ’85 opens Friday, May 19, 2028. Kosinski puts Butler in the white linen as Crockett and Jordan as Tubbs for a first-season-flavored period reboot — Gilroy and Singer on the script, Clark producing. Universal parked it after Final Destination 7 (May 12) and before Lilo & Stitch 2 (May 26).
The Aug 6, 2027 date is dead calendar. Buy May 19, 2028 — IMAX-friendly crime, not Mann’s 2006 Ferrari remount.
Confirmed: May 19 2028 Kosinski period Vice — not Aug 2027, not Mann 2006 Part Two
Confirmed: May 19, 2028 theatrical; Kosinski; Butler Crockett / Jordan Tubbs; ’85 period pitch; Universal. Not confirmed as still August 2027, as a modern-day update, or as Foxx/Farrell returning. Fake “Miami Vice — summer 2027” stubs are the old slot.
From Don Johnson’s speedboat to a May 2028 Universal hold
- 1984–89 — Miami Vice TV; Mann’s style bible.
- 2006 — Mann feature with Farrell/Foxx (modern setting).
- 2026 — Kosinski officially on; titled Miami Vice ’85; Aug 6, 2027 dated.
- Date swap — Universal moves it to May 19, 2028; Mummy 4 advances.
- May 19, 2028 — current theatrical target.
Before May 2028 — buy ’85, not the wrong Vice
- Marquee: Miami Vice ’85 / May 19, 2028 — Universal.
- Aug 6, 2027 is dead.
- ≠ 2006 Mann film remaster.
- Butler = Crockett; Jordan = Tubbs — don’t swap the posters.
- Lilo & Stitch 2 is May 26 — different Friday.
Kosinski put ’85 in the title so nobody would confuse this with Mann’s rainy 2006 remount — then Universal still had to move the Friday once
Most reboot SEO collapses every Vice into one Ferrari chase. This project’s interesting move is period: first-season pastel crime with Maverick’s director, Butler and Jordan as Crockett/Tubbs, and a title that timestamps the decade. May 19, 2028 exists because Aug 6, 2027 lost a slate fight with Mummy scheduling — honest pages keep both facts.
Scrapers that still sell August 2027 or a Foxx/Farrell reunion are arguing with Universal’s May card.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this release date.
1When does Miami Vice ’85 open?
May 19, 2028 in theaters from Universal Pictures. It was dated August 6, 2027 first, then Universal slid it to May 2028 when Mummy 4 took an earlier corridor.
2Who stars and directs?
Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick, F1) directs. Austin Butler plays Sonny Crockett; Michael B. Jordan plays Ricardo Tubbs. Dan Gilroy and Eric Warren Singer write; Dylan Clark and Kosinski produce.
3Is it a remake of Michael Mann’s 2006 movie?
No. Kosinski’s film is a period piece inspired by the first season of the 1980s TV show — hence ’85 in the title — not a remake of Mann’s contemporary 2006 feature.
4Wasn’t it August 2027?
That slot died. Universal moved Miami Vice ’85 to May 19, 2028 and advanced The Mummy 4 to October 15, 2027. Ignore Aug 6, 2027 stubs.
