DiCaprio Fights One Battle After Another
The film's release date change is part of a larger shuffle of Warner Bros.' release calendar, which includes changes to the release dates of several other films, including "The Bride", "Weapons", and "The Cat in the Hat". With the new release date, "One Battle After Another" is poised to make a strong impact at the box office and in film festivals.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Paul Thomas Anderson are teaming up once again for their latest film, "One Battle After Another", an ensemble piece set in contemporary times, starring DiCaprio, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, Sean Penn, and Alana Haim. The first teaser for the film has been released, showcasing intense scenes with characters firing guns in a field, including a pregnant Taylor's character shooting a rifle.
The film, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, is his latest project since 2021's "Licorice Pizza", which despite receiving positive critical reception, lost tens of millions of dollars after failing to recoup its $40 million budget. "One Battle After Another" was shot on 35mm film using VistaVision cameras and had a working title of "BC Project" during production.
Warner Bros. has announced several changes to its release calendar, including the relocation of Maggie Gyllenhaal's "The Bride" from September 26, 2025, to March 6, 2026. Meanwhile, "One Battle After Another" has been pushed from August 8, 2024, to September 26, 2025, allowing for a global release in Imax theaters and the installation of VistaVision projection systems, which is expected to give the film a better shot at the fall film festivals.
With the new release date, "One Battle After Another" is set to hit theaters on September 26, 2025, and is expected to be a highly anticipated film, given the reunion of DiCaprio and Anderson, who have previously worked together on several projects. The film's ensemble cast and intense teaser have already generated buzz, and fans are eagerly waiting to see the final product.
