Ana de Armas, Vanessa Kirby & Sydney Sweeney’s Survival Thriller Finally Sets US Release Date 7 Months After Its Initial Premiere

Eden has finally set its United States release date. The movie is an upcoming thriller about a group of people in between the World Wars attempting to create new lives and survive on a remote island in the Galapagos. It features a leading cast including Sydney Sweeney, Vanessa Kirby, Ana de Armas, Jude Law, Toby Wallace, and Paul Gleeson. The movie was directed by Ron Howard and written by Noah Pink. Its producers include Howard, Stuart Ford, Karen Lunder, and Patrick Newall.

Per Vertical, a U.S. release date has finally been revealed for Eden. The film will release on August 22, 2025. This reveal comes in conjunction with the announcement that Vertical has acquired the movie’s domestic distribution rights. In reaction to the announcement, Howard expresses his graтιтude. He mentions that the film has been a “pᴀssion project” for him for years. He “hope[s] audiences connect with the profound themes of survival and human nature.” Check out the full quote from Howard below:

“Thanks to our partners at AGC Studios, Vertical, and our amazing team at Imagine Entertainment, I’m thrilled to be able to share Eden with audiences in the U.S. This story has been a pᴀssion project for me for years, rooted in the incredible true events of three wildly different groups of people who chose to leave modern society behind and recreate themselves on an uninhabited island in the Galapagos. The complexity of the characters and the collision of personalities that resulted are what drew me in, and I hope audiences connect with the profound themes of survival and human nature. It’s a story that feels so relevant today, and I’m excited for audiences to experience it on the big screen!”

What This Means For Eden

This announcement comes after Eden initially premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2024. It is also currently set for release in Germany (through Leonine) this month. Until this update, the film’s struggle to get a distributor was looking like bad news for the movie. Despite his clout in the industry, Howard’s previous narrative feature, Thirteen Lives, ended up going straight to streaming on Prime Video. Luckily, Eden has avoided this fate by being offered a chance in theaters.

Not only has the movie been given a sH๏τ in theaters, but it will come out towards the end of the summer blockbuster season. This could go a couple of ways for the movie. On the bright side, summer is typically one of the most fruitful times at the box office. With more people going to the movies, audiences might be more apt to check out a thriller like Eden. On the other hand, going out alongside a slew of other summer releases may make things more compeтιтive for the film.

Our Take On Eden’s Release Date

Howard’s Hitmaking Is Inconsistent

Howard is capable of directing a box office darling, as he has with The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons, which had worldwide box office hauls of $767 million and $490 million, respectively. At the same time, it has been at least seven years since Howard produced a hit with Solo: A Star Wars Story, and even that underperformed compared to other Star Wars movies. Given this history, it will be interesting to see how well Eden ends up doing when it hits theaters this August.
