\n\tThe first live-action Gremlins<\/a> movie in nearly three decades will be released by Warner Bros<\/a>. on November 19, 2027.<\/p>\n

\n\tWarner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav announced the project during the company\u2019s third-quarter earnings call. Original screenwriter Chris Columbus is attached to direct Gremlins 3 as well as producing. Steven Spielberg will return as executive producer.<\/p>\n

\n\tColumbus, Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein wrote the script for the new installment. Toby Halbrooks and Carl Ellsworth wrote a prior draft, and the writing credits are not yet final.<\/p>\n

\n\tKristie Macosko Krieger and Holly Bario are producing for Amblin Entertainment alongside 26th\u00a0Street Pictures\u2019 Columbus, Michael Barnathan and Mark Radcliffe.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe original Gremlins, directed by Joe Dante, became a pop-culture phenomenon in 1984, grossing $165 million worldwide. The sequel, Gremlins 2: The New Batch, was far less successful in 1990, taking in $41 million, though it has gone on to become a cult favorite. The staying power of Gremlins, via merchandise and comic-book extensions stemming from the two initial movies, played into WarnerMedia\u2019s decision to green-light an animated prequel series for HBO Max. Its second season wrapped up earlier this year.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFew titles are as beloved and iconic as\u00a0Gremlins, and we\u2019re beyond excited to bring it back for both lifelong fans and a whole new generation,\u201d said Jesse Ehrman, President of Development and Production, Warner Bros. Pictures, in a statement. \u201cIt\u2019s a privilege to be working alongside Steven, Chris, and the entire creative team, and we look forward to audiences experiencing the next\u00a0installment of\u00a0the\u00a0magic, mayhem, and heart of Gremlins on the big screen in 2027.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tZaslav announced the franchise installment as a way of punctuating the revival of Warner Bros. as a theatrical movie powerhouse in the earnings call with Wall Street analysts. The studio is \u201cnow where creatives want to be,\u201d he said. \u201cIt has taken time and investment, and the process has not been without setbacks. \u2026 but Warner Bros. Discovery is back and stronger than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWith less than two months left in 2025, Warners is No. 1 at both the domestic and global box office but the studio has no more releases planned this year. While Disney will bring out the heavy artillery in December with Avatar: Fire and Ash, it is unclear if it will be enough to change the market-share standings.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe earnings call also included some discussion of the looming changes at WBD<\/a>, which has fielded acquisition interest from multiple suitors and also three firm buyout offers from Paramount Skydance. Whether the company is sold in its entirety or proceeds with a plan to split in two, the century-old Warner Bros. movie operation will soon have a new corporate ownership structure, its fourth in the past decade.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The first live-action Gremlins movie in nearly three decades will be released by Warner Bros. on November 19,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":118745,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[146,75966,85,46,397,2223,9483,66709],"class_list":["post-118744","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-gremlins","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-movies","tag-warner-bros","tag-warner-bros-discovery","tag-wbd"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118744","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118744"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118744\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/118745"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118744"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118744"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118744"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
