Leonardo DiCaprio, Paul Thomas Anderson's Untitled Movie Moves to September; "The Bride" Delayed Until March 2026
Yara Sameh
Warner Bros. made some changes to its film release schedule on Wednesday, including a new date for the highly anticipated Paul Thomas Anderson next project starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
Now officially titled 'One Battle After Another,' the Anderson project is shrouded in mystery but said to be an American crime thriller. Previously dated for August 8, the film will now open nationwide on September 26.
Insiders familiar with the movie said the minor push comes as the studio helps outfit U.S. movie theaters with VistaVision projection systems to accommodate their director's vision.
A move out of August to late September also squeaks 'One Battle' out of the summer box office season and places it closer to the awards corridor, Anderson's natural habitat. (A studio source noted that auteur-driven films with commercial appeal play well in this zone, citing 'Gravity' and 'A Star is Born').
DiCaprio will costar with Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro, Regina Hall, and Teyana Taylor.
Elsewhere on the Warners slate, Maggie Gyllenhaal's 'The Bride!' will see a notable push from this September to March 6, 2026.
Christian Bale and Jessie Buckley star in a steampunk twist on Frankenstein's monster and his spouse, a film that will now receive a theatrical rollout far away from Guillermo del Toro's own Frankenstein take starring Jacob Elordi (set to release on Netflix this November).
Insiders note that March has been favorable to the studio's tentpoles in recent years, including the 'Dune' franchise and Legendary's monster movies.
Director Zach Cregger's follow-up to his successful horror feature 'Barbarian' had previously been set for a January 2026 release. Officially titled 'Weapons,' the multi-story horror epic starring Josh Brolin and Julia Garner will come much earlier, with a new date of August 8 (the original date for 'One Battle After Another').
The pull-up would suggest a vote of confidence in Cregger's latest, which will screen footage for global theater owners at the end of the month at Las Vegas' CinemaCon.
'Weapons' will now open a week after 'Together,' Neon's splashy Sundance horror acquisition starring Dave Franco and Alison Brie.
Another mystery project, 'Flowervale Street' starring Anne Hathaway, Ewan McGregor and Maisy Stella, has moved from March 2026 to August 14, 2026.
Little is known about the movie helmed by David Robert Mitchell ('It Follows') and produced by J.J. Abrams, save that it's set in the '80s and follows a family noticing bizarre happenings in their quaint neighborhood.
Finally, Warner Bros. Animation will unleash 'The Cat in the Hat' two weeks earlier than planned, settling on February 27 next year. Featuring the voices of Bill Hader and Quinta Brunson, the Seuss adaptation now gets some distance from the Pixar movie 'Hoppers,' set to open a week later.

Rami Malek's "Amateur" Sets Digital and Blu-ray Release Dates
Yara Sameh Egyptian-American Rami Malek's 20th Century thriller movie "Amateur," one of the year's best action thrillers, is all set to land on digital release later this month. Based on the 1981 novel of the same name by Robert Littell, it was adapted by Ken Nolan. British novelist and popular historian James Hawes is directing the movie from a script by Gary Spinelli. Hutch Parker and Dan Wilson are producing, with Malek executive producing. "Amateur" follows a CIA cryptographer who, after his wife is tragically killed in a London terrorist attack, demands his bosses go after them. When it becomes clear they won't act due to conflicting internal priorities, he blackmails the agency into training him and letting him go after them himself. The movie's official synopsis reads: 'Charlie Heller (Rami Malek) is a brilliant, but deeply introverted decoder for the CIA working out of a basement office at headquarters in Langley whose life is turned upside down when his wife is killed in a London terrorist attack. When his supervisors refuse to take action, he takes matters into his own hands, embarking on a dangerous trek across the globe to track down those responsible, his intelligence serving as the ultimate weapon for eluding his pursuers and achieving his revenge.' The movie has generated plenty of buzz during the fall festival season. Bleecker Street has acquired U.S. rights. "The Amateur" boasts an all-star cast that includes Rachel Brosnahan, Caitríona Balfe, Jon Bernthal, Michael Stuhlbarg, Holt McCallany, Julianne Nicholson, Adrian Martinez, Danny Sapani, and Laurence Fishburne. Release back in April, the movie racked up solid numbers at the box office. Particularly in this modern era of franchises and comic book movies. Against a budget of around $60 million, Malek's action outing grossed $95.8 million worldwide, making the movie a financial success. "The Amateur" is set to get a digital release next week on June 10, with the action thriller then landing on 4K UHD and Blu-ray a little later on July 8. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan

A writer has not yet been announced for the film that is in early development and has also not disclosed plot details. Producers include Chris Bender and Jake Weiner for Good Fear and Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley for GoldDay. Executive producing are Sean Gorman and Daniel Barnes for Cloudco.
