Warner Bros. revealed on Thursday that M. Night Shyamalan’s most recent thriller, Trap, will open one week early, on August 2 instead of August 9.
The studio revealed the release dates for four nameless projects at the same time. A WB EVENT FILM with no title will premiere on March 26, 2027, while an NL/ATOMIC MONSTER/BLUMHOUSE EVENT FILM with no title will open on April 17, 2026. On July 23, 2027, an untitled WPBA/LOCKSMITH film will premiere, and on December 17, 2027, an untitled WB FAMILY sequel will follow.
Shyamalan’s Trap, which stars Josh Hartnett and Saleka Shyamalan, was one of the most anticipated summer releases. It will open against a number of movies, including the Kino Lorber drama Sebastian, the horror thriller Cuckoo, starring Hunter Schafer from Neon, and Harold and the Purple Crayon from Columbia Pictures.
Pic finds herself in the middle of a dark and scary incident as she observes a guy and his daughter attend a pop concert. The father learns that the event was staged as a complex ploy to apprehend a serial killer when he observes an increased police presence at the location. The merchant who informs him of this has no idea that Hartnett, as we are made to believe, is the murderer. Based on his own screenplay, Shyamalan produced the movie with Ashwin Rajan and Marc Bienstock.
After the release of Ishana Night Shyamalan’s first film, The Watchers, Warner Bros. is scheduled to release Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1 on June 28 and Chapter 2 on August 23. A few of the studio’s other upcoming films are Twisters, which opens on July 19, Zoë Kravitz’s directorial debut, Blink Twice, which opens on August 23, and Beetlejuice, which opens on September 6.
