Warner Bros. has released new posters for The End of Oak Street, and the images put Ewan McGregor and Anne Hathaway inside a suburban neighborhood under dinosaur attack. The campaign pushes the film’s strange mix of early-1980s suburbia and sci-fi threat ahead of its August 14, 2026 theatrical release.
The new artwork is the clearest look yet at the movie’s pitch: ordinary streets, families, and lawns broken open by massive dinosaurs. David Robert Mitchell wrote and directed the film, and he has described a set of inspirations that includes Jurassic Park, The Twilight Zone, Poltergeist, The Valley of Gwangi, and Signs.
Oak Street in the early 1980s
The story is set in the early 1980s, when a mysterious cosmic event rips Oak Street from suburbia and transports the neighborhood to someplace unknown. That shift gives the posters their bite: this is not just a dinosaur movie, but a disaster story built around displacement, with the setting itself treated as the thing that has gone wrong.
The cast also includes Maisy Stella and Christian Convery. The film’s survival setup follows the Platt family, who have to stick together as they navigate surroundings that no longer resemble home, which is a cleaner dramatic hook than the poster art alone suggests.
David Robert Mitchell’s mix
Mitchell’s references point to a film that is trying to sit between creature-feature spectacle and ominous suburban unease. That combination matters because the posters sell dinosaurs first, while the premise points to a broader mystery about the cosmic event that moved Oak Street in the first place.
For viewers, that means the marketing is doing two jobs at once: promising dinosaur imagery while signaling a story about family, survival, and a neighborhood removed from the world it knew. The End of Oak Street arrives in theaters on August 14, 2026, and the next question is whether the film’s mystery will land with the same force as the poster campaign.
