There is currently no release date set for "Dreamin' Wild." According to TheWrap, production on the Focus Features project began in October 2021 in Spokane, Washington. Since the movie is currently filming, it's likely post-production will finish in early 2022 with an eye for possibly releasing "Dreamin' Wild" in late 2022. If it does release in 2022, timing will be important because competition at the box office will be stiff next year given how many movies' release dates were pushed back because of the pandemic. Further complicating matters is Disney's recent overhaul of the studio's release calendar, which includes pushing the long-awaited "Black Panther" sequel, "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," to November (via IndieWire).
"Dreamin' Wild" has awards seasons buzz written all over it, which further supports a late 2022 release date to ensure the movie is fresh in audiences' minds when nominations begin rolling out. Given Bill Pohlad's long history of financing and producing Oscar-nominated fare, the release date selected for "Dreamin' Wild" will undoubtedly be a strategic one.
Additionally, the director-producer could roll out his next movie at a film festival ahead of its wide release. Previously, "Love & Mercy" made its world premiere at the 2014 Toronto Film Festival (via The Los Angeles Times). Following the movie's debut, it garnered multiple awards season nominations, including one for Paul Dano, who played a young Brian Wilson, at the 2016 Golden Globes.
