Jennifer Lawrence’s upcoming biopic about entrepreneur Joy Mangano is all set to hit theatres on Christmas Day in 2015.

‘Joy’ reunites Academy-award winning Lawrence with her ’Silver Linings Playbook’ and ‘American Hustle’ director David O Russell, reported Digital Spy.

The Christmas Day release date will put ‘Joy’ up against ’Mission: Impossible 5’ and ‘Kung Fu Panda 3’

‘Joy’ will chronicle the journey of Mangano from being a Long Island housewife to finding worldwide success as the inventor of the Miracle Mop.

Annie Mumolo is writing the screenplay for ‘Joy’, following her box office success with the Oscar-nominated ’Bridesmaids’.
