“Weapons” announces the premiere date Movierulzz

Summer horror hit is coming to streaming.

Weaponswriter-director Zack Krieger’s follow-up to the hit horror film barbaricwas one of the highlights of the summer 2025 movie season. Now you can watch it over and over again via streaming, as it’s set to debut on HBO Max within days.

The film stars Julia Garner, Josh Brolin, and Alden Ehrenreich in a tangled series of stories connected to the sudden and unexplained disappearance of 17 children from one elementary school classroom. Pinballing through character-driven chapters, Weapons It finds a tone somewhere between deeply disturbing and very funny. It’s like a funny and scary horror movie version Pulp Fiction We never knew we needed.

Weapons It was produced for just under $40 million and ended up grossing over $265 million worldwide, well over six times what the cult hit barbaric It’s hitting theaters in 2022. At this point, Cregger is near the top of the list of the most exciting directors working in horror today, alongside the likes of Jordan Peele and Mike Flanagan. (His next project is supposed to be a new film adaptation of the horror game series Vampire.)

Here’s the official synopsis for the film:

When all but one child from the same class mysteriously disappears on the same night at 2:17 a.m., the community is left wondering who or what is behind their disappearance.

Just in time for Halloween, Weapons It will begin streaming on HBO Max on October 24. Can you imagine what will happen when people figure out how to synchronize the movie so they can watch it until 2:17 a.m., which is the scene where the kids disappear? A lot of teenagers’ brains will melt by doing this. (If you still own linear HBO, it will premiere on Saturday, October 25 at 8 p.m. ET.)
