Warner Bros. reshuffles their release schedule for Paul Thomas Anderson’s next film, The Bride, The Cat in the Hat and more
Warner Bros. seemingly has been going through damage control for the last few years. While the more notorious stories about the studio’s shake-ups come from their DC films department, David Zaslav’s reign has also included the way their streaming service alters its library and information, as well as the shockingly shortened theatrical release windows given to newly premiered films. As the company attempts to recover from the reported $100 million loss on films like Mickey 17, according to Deadline, the Water Tower studio is shuffling their schedule as a strategy to keep them in the black and out of the red.
A lot of the schedule changes were affected by the movies that the studio had already booked for IMAX theaters. Premium screens are coveted for big movie releases and Warners was careful not to lose the precious commodity. The company would also move potential tentpoles up into this year as Barbarian director Zach Cregger’s next movie, Weapons, went from January 2026 to this summer on August 8. Weapons moving into this year would, in turn, push Paul Thomas Anderson’s next movie, One Battle After Another, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio, from August 8 to September 26. That means Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride!, which stars Christian Bale, would get pushed out of that originally scheduled day to March 6, 2026. You can view the list of the schedule below.
