Release
The film had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 26, 2020.[3] Shortly after, Magnolia Pictures acquired distribution rights to the film.[4] Due to the subject matter, the film struggled to find distribution, with Magnolia opting to release the film internationally instead, and Hulu acquiring rights to the film before dropping it.[5] In September 2020, Greenwich Entertainment acquired U.S. distribution rights to the film.[6] It was released on December 11, 2020.[7] In June 2021, Assassins was granted art movie status following an initial rejection by the Korean Film Council (KOFIC) in May 2021.[8]
