September ain’t big enough for two big movies, so WB’s decided to leave ‚Practical Magic 2‘ while ‚Clayface‘ gets Halloween.<\/b>
\nOh, that\u2019s why we haven\u2019t seen or heard anything from Clayface yet: it\u2019s coming out a little later in 2026 than before.
Warner Bros. revealed on Friday that it\u2019s done some slight release date shifting, so the DC movie has vacated September 11 and moved to October 23. On its original date now is Practical Magic 2, which was originally dated for the following weekend on September 18.
With its new date, Practical Magic 2 begins the studio\u2019s horror and genre slate for the fall season. In previous years, the early September window was occupied by The Conjuring: Last Rites and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, and both of those did really well during their respective theatrical runs.
Meanwhile, Clayface\u2019s late October slot will make it WB\u2019s big movie for the month. The Batman villain\u2019s solo film is directed by James Watkins of the Speak No Evil remake and written by horror guy (and future The Exorcist director) Mike Flanagan, and ideally, it\u2019ll hit big during Halloween, similar to how Black Phone 2 did for Universal last year in a similar window. It\u2019s supposed to be a body horror movie about a man with shapeshifting powers, how could it not be scary?
So Practical Magic 2 on September 11 and Clayface on October 23, with teasers for both hopefully soon.<\/p>\n
