Sony Sets Brie Larson Creature Horror Skeletons For June 4, 2027 Release
The studio’s booking of a summer date signals confidence in the film’s commercial pull and places it in a crowded early‑June box office slate.
Overview
- Sony announced Monday that Skeletons will open wide in U.S. theaters on June 4, 2027, formalizing the studio’s release plan for the creature‑horror feature.
- Production on the film began in June 2026 and the studio has confirmed J.T. Mollner as director with Brie Larson in the lead role.
- FilmNation’s Infrared, J.J. Abrams’s Bad Robot and Assemble Media are co‑producers, with Abrams listed as a producer and multiple executive producers attached.
- Skeletons is adapted from Philip Fracassi’s short story Fail‑Safe, with an initial screenplay by Brian Duffield that Mollner revised, and the premise centers on a young boy who uncovers a disturbing secret about his mother.
- The property reached Sony after a multi‑studio bidding contest at the European Film Market following a lapsed 2022 option at Universal, and the June slot positions the movie to compete with other early‑summer tentpoles for genre audiences.
