Warner Bros. Delays Remain to February 2027

Warner Bros. has delayed the release of M. Night Shyamalan's upcoming supernatural romantic thriller "Remain" by four months, shifting it from October 2026 to February 5, 2027. The film, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Phoebe Dynevor, marks a collaboration between Shyamalan and bestselling author Nicholas Sparks, blending elements of romance and the supernatural.

The story centers on Tate Donovan, a New York architect played by Gyllenhaal, who moves to Cape Cod seeking a fresh start after treatment for acute depression following his sister's death. There, he encounters Wren, portrayed by Dynevor, a young woman whose mysterious presence upends his life and draws him into supernatural events tied to her past. The narrative explores themes of loss, love and hidden family traits, including the ability to see spirits. Shyamalan wrote the screenplay, while Sparks independently crafted a novel based on the same original idea, which became a No. 1 New York Times bestseller upon its release in October 2025.

The decision to postpone the film stems from Warner Bros.' strategy to target the Valentine's Day release window, which the studio now views as a prime period for romantic fare....
