Sony had been planning to give director Chris Weitz’s horror film They Listen a theatrical release on August 25th of this year, which is why we have it listed on our Summer Horror Movie Preview… but we’re going to have to remove it from that list, because Sony has (according to Yahoo) decided to delay the release an entire year. They Listen is now set to reach theatres on August 30, 2024.
They Listen is coming to us from Sony, Blumhouse, and Depth of Field. Weitz is producing the film with Jason Blum and Andrew Miano. Bea Sequeira, Dan Balgoyen, Britta Rowings, and Paul Davis serve as executive producers. Filming was already underway in Los Angeles back in December, so this movie is going to be complete and sitting on a shelf a while before its new release date rolls around next year.
All details about They Listen are being kept under wraps.

Hulu’s “Crush” just dropped its first trailer, and let’s just say the trifecta playing the three main characters is fierce.
Aspiring artist Paige (Rowan Blanchard) hopes to get into art school. For her application, she has to render her happiest moment so far in life through her medium of choice.
When Paige is forced to join her high school track team, she uses it as an opportunity to pursue the girl she’s had a crush on: Gabriela Campos (Isabella Ferreira). But she soon finds herself falling for an unexpected teammate, Gabby’s sister Aj (Auli’i Cravalho), and discovers what real love feels like.
“Crush” will also star Tyler Alvarez, TEala Dunn, Rico Paris, Addie Weyrich, Aasif Mandvi, Megan Mullally and Michelle Buteau.
The film is directed by Sammi Cohen and written by Kirsten King and Casey Rackham. Crush is produced by Jeremy Garelick, Will Phelps and Ryan Bennett for American High,...
