Post Christmas Warner Bros is busy making release date changes for next year before it rings in and beyond. The most prolific move is that Matt Reeves’ The Batman sequel is heading from Oct. 2, 2026 to Oct. 1, 2027. Production isn’t scheduled to get started until late summer and with a VFX heavy sequel such as this one, a fall 2026 theatrical release is within reach. The Reeves’ movie will have Imax screens.
Funny enough, Warner Bros always had the first weekend of October 2027 staked out for a DC title.
Reeves’ The Batman was the first fire-breathing theatrical release for Warner Bros. post Covid after implementing a day-and-date release strategy on Max; the movie making $369.3M domestic, $772M WW. The feature spawned a Max series, The Penguin, the third-most-watched HBO or Max debut season around the world following The House of the Dragon and The Last of Us.
Taking over The Batman sequel’s place on Oct. 2, 2026 is the Alejandro González Iñárritu directed untitled movie with Tom Cruise. The movie will be presented in Imax as well and it remains the only wide release major studio title on that weekend to date. The Legendary production which also stars Sandra Hüller, John Goodman, Michael Stuhlbarg, Jesse Plemons, Sophie Wilde and Riz Ahmed follows the most powerful man in the world who embarks on a frantic mission to prove he is humanity’s savior before the disaster he’s unleashed destroys everything.
Watch on Deadline
Warners still owns the opening record for October with 2019’s The Joker which opened to $96.2M.
Mickey 17 is now on Sinners’ old date of March 7 in Imax, while Sinners takes over Mickey 17′s Easter launch pad of April 18 with Imax screens as well. A trailer for Sinners was attached to that of Focus Features’ Nosferatu sold-out 7PM showtime last night at the Yonkers, NY Alamo Drafthouse.
Sinners was shot on film and post-production is taking longer due to the scarcity of labs to do the work on the Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan reteam. Warners has owned the Easter launch pad with films like Batman V. Superman (the holiday’s record opener at $181M), Ready Player One, Clash of the Titans and last year’s Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire ($87.7M, Easter weekend’s fifth highest opening ever). Sinners is the major Easter major motion picture studio release and is booked alongside Neon’s Hell of a Summer, Bleecker Street’s Sundance premiere The Wedding Banquet, and Briarcliff Entertainment’s animated title Sneaks.
Sinners follows twin brothers (Jordan), who after trying to leave their troubled lives behind, return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back. Hailee Steinfeld, Jack O’Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller and Delroy Lindo star in the Coogler directed and scripted feature.
Mickey 17 is Bong Joon Ho’s first movie post his Oscar wins on Parasite back in early 2020; this sci-fi movie starring The Batman‘s Robert Pattinson. The movie’s new date of March 7 gets it more playtime in Imax. The movie arrives three weeks after the Valentine’s Day combo of Disney/Marvel Studios’ Captain America: Brave New World and Sony/StudioCanal’s Paddington in Peru. Mickey 17 centers around unlikely hero, Mickey Barnes (Pattinson) who has found himself in the extraordinary circumstance of working for an employer who demands the ultimate commitment to the job… to die, for a living.
