Horror Film 'Weapons' to Stream Oct. 24 on HBO Max

The film grossed over $260 million worldwide and follows missing third graders whose disappearance sparks a community-wide search, streaming on HBO Max Oct. 24.

  • On Oct. 24, HBO Max will begin streaming Weapons exclusively, with the film arriving on HBO's linear channel the next day on Oct. 25 for Halloween viewing.
  • Produced by Zach Cregger alongside Roy Lee, Miri Yoon, J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules, Weapons opened in theaters on Aug. 8 and was produced at New Line Cinema and partner companies.
  • Opening at $43.5M, Weapons, the film with a $38M budget, finished with $151.4M domestically and made more than $260 million worldwide.
  • Zach Cregger has parlayed the film's success into a Resident Evil project and teased a Weapons follow-up, while producers Raphael Margules and J.D. Lifshitz moved to Paramount to launch a new genre label.
  • As Jesse Hassenger wrote, Weapons, the film about third graders who vanish at 2:17 a.m., is `masterfully entertaining and far more ambitious than Barbarian, and it feels more personal in the abstract.
