Paul Thomas Anderson’s new movie with Leonardo DiCaprio gets new release date

Posted On March 20, 2025March 20, 2025

The newest upcoming movie from director Paul Thomas Anderson, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio, has had its release date pushed back to later in the year.

The film, titled One Battle After Another, was meant to be released on August 8th but will now hit cinemas on September 26th instead, as reported by Deadline.

It comes as Warner Bros is shaking up its schedule for the year amid a litany of box office flops from the studio – most notably the sci-fi Mickey 17 starring Robert Pattinson, which has significantly underperformed despite its mammoth budget.

The knock-on effect is that the Anderson movie now shifts later than its initial summer release, where the matter of a film festival premiere is still to be decided, as has become customary for the director’s previous works.

One Battle After Another is an adaptation of the novel Vineland by Thomas Pynchon, marking Anderson’s second delve into the author’s world after having put his work Inherent Vice to the screen back in 2014.

It is also set to be the director’s most costly film yet, racking up a budget of $115million when it was first greenlit in February 2024. It will needed to return $300m at the box office in order to make a profit, according to Variety.

Alongside DiCaprio in the ensemble cast for the crime thriller are Regina Hall, Sean Penn, and Alana Haim – the latter of whom comes off the back of a Golden Globe-nominated performance in Anderson’s last film, Licorice Pizza in 2021.

She is also currently riding high in the music realm with her band Haim, alongside sisters Este and Danielle, who released their newest single ‘Relationships’ on March 5th in anticipation of an upcoming fourth studio album.
