Overview

• Paramount announced on August 14 that The Running Man will now open on November 14, 2025, instead of its original November 7 date.
• The studio cited the need to obtain additional IMAX screen allocations as the primary reason for the one-week postponement.
• The new slot removes the film from a head-to-head weekend with Predator: Badlands, allowing both titles to avoid splitting a similar audience.
• Shifting to November 14 places the dystopian thriller against Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, Eternity, Keeper and Trap House while keeping it ahead of major holiday releases.
• Directed by Edgar Wright and starring Glen Powell, the adaptation will stay closer to Stephen King’s 1982 novel, with Michael Bacall co-writing and Chung-hoon Chung as cinematographer.
