Warners Delays “Battle,” “Bride,” “Weapons”

Ahead of CinemaCon in a little over a week, Warner Bros. Pictures is shaking up its release schedule with a number of films set to be shifted around.

First up, the Maggie Gyllenhaal-directed Frankenstein feature “The Bride”has been pushed back six months – moving from September 16th this year to March 6th 2026. The Christian Bale and Jessie Buckley-led film has reportedly had some challenging post-production.

As a result of that move, Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” has been pushed back a month from August 8th to The Bride’s old date of September 26th.

In doing so, the Leonardo DiCaprio-led movie will get a global release in IMAX cinemas and allows the $130 million+ budget film to be shown in VistaVision. It also means a Cannes bow is unlikely with the film almost certainly opting for a Fall film festival launch.

With that shift, “Barbarian” director Zach Cregger’s new film “Weapons” has moved up from January 11th 2026 to the now vacated August 8th slot this year. Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, Alden Ehrenreich and Austin Abrams star in the project.

Finally, Warners has moved its animated “The Cat in the Hat” up by a week to February 27th, and “It Follows” director David Robert Mitchell’s “Flowervale Street” which has been pushed five months from March 13th 2026 to August 14th 2026.
