Lionsgate Dates Mila Kunis-Kate McKinnon Comedy ‘The Spy Who Dumped Me’ For Summer 2018

Lionsgate has set a release date of July 6, 2018, for the Susanna Fogel-directed comedy The Spy Who Dumped Me, starring Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon.

Co-written by Fogel and David Iserson, the pic centers on friends Audrey (Kunis) and Morgan (McKinnon), whose lives are shifted when Audrey’s unassuming ex-boyfriend shows up at their apartment with a team of deadly assassins on his trail. Surprising even themselves, the duo jump into action when two men are shot dead on their floor, grabbing a top-secret thumb drive and taking off on an undercover mission to save the world.

Imagine Entertainment’s Brian Grazer and Ron Howard are producing the high-octane, continent-hopping spy caper, which Lionsgate will be selling at Cannes next month.

The slot pins the comedy up against box office bait Disney/Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp and Universal/Blumhouse’s untitled fourth installment in The Purge franchise.
