Ridley Scott's upcoming film 'The Dog Stars' has been rescheduled for a summer 2026 theatrical release. Meanwhile, the sequel to 'Ready or Not' and Pixar's 'Gatto' are set to arrive in theaters sooner than originally planned. These adjustments were announced on December 22, 2025.
The entertainment industry continues to see shifts in film release schedules, with notable changes announced for several high-profile projects. Ridley Scott's 'The Dog Stars' is now slated for summer 2026, moving from its previous date. This adaptation, directed by the acclaimed filmmaker known for works like 'Gladiator' and 'Alien,' promises a post-apocalyptic narrative based on Peter Heller's novel, though specific plot details remain under wraps.
In contrast, the sequel to the 2019 horror-comedy 'Ready or Not' will hit theaters earlier than anticipated, building on the original's success which starred Samara Weaving. Similarly, Pixar's 'Gatto'—an animated feature—has been fast-tracked for an earlier release, adding to the studio's lineup of family-oriented adventures.
These date changes reflect ongoing adjustments in Hollywood's release calendar, influenced by production timelines and market demands. No further details on exact dates within summer 2026 or the new timelines for the other films were provided in the announcement.
