Mark Your Calendars: Weapons Lands HBO Max Streaming Date as 2025’s Best Horror Arrives
Weapons storms onto HBO Max on October 24, 2025, bringing Zach Cregger’s horror juggernaut home just in time for spooky-season binges.
Clear your weekend: the wait to stream Zach Cregger's horror hit 'Weapons' is basically over, and the timing could not be more Halloween-core.
When and where to watch
Warner Bros. says 'Weapons' hits HBO Max on October 24, 2025. If you still watch the linear channels, it rolls onto HBO the next day, October 25, 2025.
The hook
'When all but one child from the same class mysteriously vanish on the same night at exactly the same time, a community is left questioning who or what is behind their disappearance.'
That is the official synopsis, and yes, it plays as ominous as it sounds.
Who made it and who is in it
Cregger wrote and directed the film and also produces. The cast pairs Brolin and Garner up front with a strong lineup around them. Behind the scenes, the producing bench is stacked.
- Cast: Brolin (who also serves as an executive producer), Garner, Alden Ehrenreich, Austin Abrams, Cary Christopher, Benedict Wong, Amy Madigan
- Written and directed by: Zach Cregger
- Producers: Roy Lee, Miri Yoon, J.D. Lifshitz, Raphael Margules, and Zach Cregger
- Executive producers: Michelle Morrissey, Josh Brolin
How it performed
'Weapons' was a full-on hit on release, pulling in more than $260 million at the box office and getting talked up as one of the year's standout horror movies.
What Cregger is up to next
Post-'Weapons', Cregger is at work on a 'Resident Evil' movie. On top of that, reports say he is also developing a prequel centered on the film's mysterious villain, Gladys. If you saw the movie, you know why that last part will get fans buzzing.
