Warner Bros. has decided to delay the release of Jonah Hill’s comedy film, Cut Off, which was initially set for July 17. The film’s updated release date remains unannounced, as it was not included in the studio’s lineup at CinemaCon for 2026. This move indicates that the production is taking the time to find the right moment for its theatrical debut.

Cut Off revolves around two siblings whose affluent parents cease their financial support. Hill directed the movie and co-wrote the script with Ezra Woods. The film stars notable actors including:
- Bette Midler

Along with Hill, producers for the film include Matt Dines and Ali Goodwin. The movie was expected to compete with Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film, The Odyssey.
Jonah Hill’s Insights
Cut Off as “pure stupidity.” He humorously noted that he and Kristen Wiig play “two dumbass heirs” who struggle after being financially cut off by their wealthy parents. He compared the movie to classics such as Step Brothers, Clueless, and Trading Places.
Hill praised Warner Bros. executives Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy for their commitment to a theatrical release, emphasizing the team’s efforts to revive comedy in cinemas.
