Warner Bros. has bumped up the release date for The Watchers.
Warner Bros. has announced that The Watchers, which is directed by Ishana Night Shyamalan, will now be released on June 7, 2024. The film was originally scheduled to hit United States theaters on June 14, 2024.
The Watchers now shares a release date with Bad Boys: Ride or Die and the Russell Crowe-led horror movie titled The Exorcism. Richard Linklater’s Hit Man, which stars Glen Powell, also begins streaming on Netflix the same day.
What is The Watchers about?
“The film follows Mina, a 28-year-old artist, who gets stranded in an expansive, untouched forest in western Ireland,” the official synopsis reads. “When Mina finds shelter, she unknowingly becomes trapped alongside three strangers who are watched and stalked by mysterious creatures each night. You can’t see them, but they see everything.”
