The science fiction film ‘The End of Oak Street’ was released in theaters and IMAX on August 12, 2026. Produced by Warner Brothers and J.J. Abrams through Bad Robot, and directed by David Robert Mitchell, the film stars Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor as members of the Platt family. The plot follows the family in a 1982 Michigan suburb whose lives are upended when a mysterious cosmic phenomenon teleports their neighborhood into a prehistoric era populated by dinosaurs. Following its release, critical reception has been largely positive, with the film earning between 84% and 86% on Rotten Tomatoes. Reviewers have praised the high-quality CGI, the lead cast's performances, and the blend of 1980s nostalgia and family drama. However, the film received a ‘B’ CinemaScore from audiences. Commercially, the film surpassed $100 million at the global box office by early September 2026, with later reports indicating it has grossed over $116 million. Given its $85 million budget, the film is expected to require strong secondary market performance to reach its estimated $200 million break-even point. On September 6, 2026, Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment announced the film’s digital and physical release schedule. The movie is set to become available digitally on September 15 via platforms including Apple TV, Fandango, and Prime Video. Physical media releases, including 4K UHD, DVD, and Blu-ray, are scheduled for November 3, 2026. These editions are expected to include special segments such as ‘Banding Together: The Making of The End of Oak Street’, a deep dive into dinosaur designs, and a breakdown of the ‘Spinosauras attack’ scene. Editor John Axelrad has noted the technical challenges of the production, specifically the use of Avid software to balance action with character development.
