M. Night Shyamalan’s ‘Remain’ Starring Jake Gyllenhaal Pushed to February 2027

Originally due out in October of this year, M. Night Shyamalan‘s supernatural romance thriller Remain has been delayed to February 5, 2027.

Warner Bros. selected the new date after seeing strong pre-sales for Wuthering Heights this Valentine’s Day season. Variety notes, “The studio believes that February, once seen as a slow month for moviegoing, has become a much more lucrative corridor to release films.”

Sources say that Remain has received the highest test scores of Shyamalan’s career, but it will face some stiff competition on its new date: Judd Apatow’s new comedy starring Glen Powell and Disney’s Ice Age: Boiling Point are due out the same day.

Shyamalan co-created Remain with author Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook, A Walk to Remember), independently writing a screenplay and a novel based on the same concept and characters but tailored to their respective mediums. Sparks’ novel published this past October.

The film stars Jake Gyllenhaal as a grieving architect who moves to Cape Cod for work after leaving a psychiatric facility. While staying at a historic B&B, he meets a mysterious woman, played by Phoebe Dynevor (“Bridgerton”), who makes him question his rational beliefs about life and loss.

Ashley Walters (“Adolescence”), Julie Hagerty (Airplane), Jay O. Sanders (Along Came a Spider), Tracy Ifeachor (“The Pitt”), Hannah James (“Mercy Street”), Caleb Ruminer (“Finding Carter”), Kieran Mulcare (“Jessica Jones”), Maria Dizzia (“Orange is the New Black”), and Shyamalan round out the cast.

Shyamalan produces with Ashwin Rajan for Blinding Edge Pictures alongside Sparks’ longtime producing partner Theresa Park and Marc Bienstock. Sparks serves as executive producer.
