Warner Bros. Reveals 4K Blu-ray Date for One Battle After Another — Digital Release Remains a Mystery

Paul Thomas Anderson fans, go ahead and circle a date. Warner Bros. has locked in a physical release for 'One Battle After Another' on both Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray, and the timing is a little amusing: the movie is still in theaters, but the disc is set for January 20, 2026. Blu-ray.com was first to flag the listing. Digital, on the other hand, is still a question mark. The studio hasn’t confirmed a rental/purchase window yet, though chatter says it could hit video-on-demand on November 20. Treat that as rumor until someone in Burbank says it out loud.

What this thing is

Anderson wrote, directed, and produced the film, which Warner Bros. is releasing as a Ghoulardi Film Company production. Leonardo DiCaprio leads as Bob, a once-radical true believer who has drifted into paranoid burnout, living off the grid with his daughter Willa (Chase Infiniti). When a long-simmering enemy played by Sean Penn pops back up after 16 years and Willa disappears, Bob has to claw through his history to find her. It’s pitched as a political dramedy, but the setup is basically: Dad’s past won’t stay buried, and his kid pays the price.

The cast is stacked: Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro, Regina Hall, and Teyana Taylor join DiCaprio and Infiniti. Behind the camera, Anderson brought back a lot of familiar collaborators: cinematographer Michael Bauman; production designer Florencia Martin (Oscar-nominated, BAFTA winner); editor Andy Jurgensen (BAFTA nominee); costume legend Colleen Atwood (multiple Oscars and BAFTAs); casting director Cassandra Kulukundis; and composer Jonny Greenwood (Oscar and BAFTA nominations). Producer credits go to Adam Somner, Sara Murphy, and Anderson, with Will Weiske as executive producer.

If you want to catch it big and loud before the couch version, it’s currently playing in theaters in VistaVision, 70mm, and IMAX. VistaVision in 2025 is not something you see every day, so film nerds, enjoy the flex.

The nuts and bolts

So, the short version: the disc is nailed down way in advance, the specs look exactly like you’d hope for an Anderson/Greenwood joint, and the digital plan is still floating in the ether. As soon as WB clarifies the online release, I’ll update, but for now, enjoy the unusually film-forward theatrical run and plan your 4K shelf space accordingly.
