Leonardo DiCaprio’s highly anticipated film with Paul Thomas Anderson has a new date now. The Warner Bros. film is titled One Battle After Another. The American crime thriller will no longer release on August 8 and has been shifted by another month. The new release date for the film is September 26.

This change comes as US movie insiders suggest that the studio is trying to streamline a lot of things including helping movie theatres with VistaVision projection systems to accommodate their director’s vision.

In addition to this change, another Warner Bros film, Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride! will see a notable push from this September to March 6, 2026. The film also stars Christian Bale and Jessie Buckley. The Bride! takes on a different twist on the story of Frankenstein’s monster and his spouse. The change comes as the studio wants there to be a gap between this film and award-winning director Guillermo del Toro’s own Frankenstein take starring Jacob Elordi. Jacob’s film is set to release on Netflix in November.
