Anne Hathaway's 'American Sniper' Replacement Officially Sets Release Date

Not only is she currently pregnant with her third child, but Hollywood royalty Anne Hathaway is also having the busiest year of her career. After starting 2026 with David Lowery's underrated psychological drama Mother Mary, Hathaway turned her attention to one of her biggest movies in years in the spring, as she rejoined Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci, and Emily Blunt for The Devil Wears Prada 2, which was called "a near-perfect blend of nostalgia and newness" by Collider's own Taylor Gates.

Then came a summertime one-two box-office knockout for Hathaway, which began with a film that is officially her highest-grossing of all time. Hathaway features as Penelope alongside a starry cast in Christopher Nolan's historical epic The Odyssey, which has grossed almost $1.7 billion worldwide. Then came the Spielberg-esque sci-fi thriller The End of Oak Street, which finished its theatrical run just shy of $120 million globally, sadly falling short of expectations against a reported $85 million budget. Next month, she will add yet another theatrical release to her 2026 schedule, as she stars in Verity, the latest in a flurry of Colleen Hoover adaptations on the big screen.

Anne Hathaway Isn't Done Yet

Despite being one of the busiest people in Hollywood and expanding her family, Hathaway isn't showing any signs of slowing down. The Academy Award winner is now teaming up on a new project with double Oscar nominee Adam Driver and Betty Gilpin, who is off the back of winning Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series at the Primetime Emmys. The film in question is Alone at Dawn, Ron Howard's adaptation of the 2019 book of the same name by Dan Schilling and Lori Chapman Longfritz, which recounts the true-life story of United States Air Force Combat Controller John A. Chapman.

Excitingly, Deadline has just exclusively revealed the release date for Alone at Dawn, which is set to be the perfect Christmas present for Hathaway fans next year. Officially, Amazon MGM Studios and Imagine Entertainment's Alone at Dawn will be released in the U.S. on December 25, 2027, before expanding on January 7 and getting a wide break over the MLK weekend, January 14-17. American Sniper, a drama with similar traits to Alone at Dawn, also found success with this holiday release corridor.
