Focus Features Dates Curry Barker’s Anything But Ghosts for May 7, 2027

The May release signals the studio is positioning the Blumhouse-backed horror-comedy for a wide theatrical launch to capitalize on Barker’s breakout.

Overview

  • Focus Features announced the domestic theatrical release on Tuesday and set Anything But Ghosts to open in U.S. cinemas on May 7, 2027.
  • Curry Barker co-wrote, directed and stars in the film with longtime collaborator Cooper Tomlinson, who also co-wrote and co-stars.
  • The cast includes Aaron Paul, Bryce Dallas Howard, Violet McGraw and Chris Reinacher, and the picture was produced with Blumhouse‑Atomic Monster, Spooky Pictures and Divide/Conquer.
  • The film reportedly finished shooting in April before Obsession’s mainstream success and had a production budget of about $5 million, with Universal handling international distribution.
  • Barker has confirmed Anything But Ghosts leans into horror‑comedy and contains an explicit Easter‑egg reference to Obsession, a tie the studio appears to be using to build a shared cinematic world.
