Jordan Peele Is Doing Just Fine After Losing The Bidding War For Zach Cregger’s ‘Weapons’

  • Zach Cregger’s horror thriller Weapons will premiere in U.S. Theaters and IMAX on August 8, 2025, following the release of its trailer on April 29.
  • New Line Cinema won the $38 million bidding war for Weapons in early 2023, beating Universal and Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw production company.
  • Weapons depicts a small town grappling with the unexplained disappearance of seventeen children from Mrs. Gandy’s classroom at 2:17 a.m., with Josh Brolin and Julia Garner starring.
  • Director Cregger described Weapons as “more ambitious” and “twistier” than his previous film Barbarian, promising a story that reinvents itself beyond the initial mystery.
  • Although Peele lost the bidding, he remains active with upcoming projects, while Weapons’ R-rated release explores themes of trauma and collective psychosis for audiences starting August 8.
