Walt Disney Pictures is bringing its 2003 body-swap comedy back to cinemas with “Freakier Friday,” a sequel that reunites original stars Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis. The film is set to open internationally on 8 August, arriving 22 years after “Freaky Friday,” which earned roughly $160 million worldwide and became a touchstone for millennial audiences. The new story finds Lohan’s Anna Coleman juggling life as a single mother to 15-year-old Harper (Julia Butters) and planning a wedding to Eric (Manny Jacinto) when a mystic mishap once again swaps bodies—this time among four characters. Early reviews describe the two-hour film as a nostalgia-laden family comedy that closely mirrors the spirit and structure of the original while updating its themes for 2025. Disney leans heavily on that nostalgia: the fictional garage band Pink Slip is back for a climactic concert sequence, and music publication Billboard notes cameo appearances by indie trio MUNA alongside returning cast members Christina Vidal and Haley Hudson. The studio is banking on the reunion of familiar characters and a soundtrack that reprises the cult hit “Take Me Away” to draw both long-time fans and their teenage children. For Lohan, now 39, the release extends what entertainment media have dubbed the “Lohanaissance,” following recent streaming projects and a highly publicized personal turnaround. Disney has not issued box-office guidance, but the late-summer slot positions the sequel to capitalize on millennial nostalgia amid a slate of legacy revivals across Hollywood.
