Sony Pictures has set Darren Aronofsky’s upcoming thriller “Caught Stealing” for release on August 29 while moving the previously slated sixth installment in Blumhouse’s “Insidious” series to August 21, 2026.
Based on the book of the same name by Charlie Huston, “Caught Stealing” will star Austin Butler as Hank Thompson, a burned-out former baseball player, who is unwittingly plunged into a wild fight for survival in the downtown criminal underworld of ‘90s NYC. Zoë Kravitz, Regina King, Liev Schreiber, Matt King and Bad Bunny also star.
Sony released the previous installment in the “Insidious” series, “The Red Key,” through Screen Gems in July 2023. The film grossed $189 million worldwide against a $16 million budget.
Both “Caught Stealing” and “Insidious 6” will be released in the end-of-summer period where thrillers and horror films tend to fill the release slate. There are no wide releases currently set for release alongside “Caught Stealing,” with films set for release earlier in August including Universal/DreamWorks’ sequel to “The Bad Guys” and an untitled Paul Thomas Anderson film from Warner Bros. that will have Imax support.
