What happens
Weapons is a 2025 American supernatural mystery horror film directed, written, produced and co-scored by Zach Cregger. It stars an ensemble cast including Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, Alden Ehrenreich, Austin Abrams, Cary Christopher, Toby Huss, Benedict Wong and Amy Madigan. Its plot follows the case of seventeen children from the same classroom who mysteriously run away on the same night at the same time. After the critical and commercial success of his film Barbarian (2022), Cregger began working on the spec script for Weapons. It prompted a bidding war between several studios, with New Line Cinema emerging as the victor. Initially intended to film from May to July 2023, several actors dropped out due to conflicts caused by the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes. Casting resumed in February 2024 and ended in May of that year. Filming then began in Atlanta, concluding in July. Weapons was released in theaters in the United States on August 8, 2025, by Warner Bros. Pictures. The film received positive reviews from critics and was a box-office success, grossing $270 million against a $38 million budget. Madigan's performance was singled out for praise, winning the Academy Award and the Actor Award for Best Supporting Actress, and was also nominated for a Golden Globe Award in the same category. A prequel, titled Gladys, is scheduled to be released in September 2028. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
