- Sony has scheduled the theatrical release for September 18, 2026, with India getting the film in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
- Press who viewed the opening 30 minutes described it as nerve‑wracking and suspenseful, reflecting Zach Cregger’s deliberate choice to keep the story primal, linear and grounded in the T‑virus.
