After the critical and commercial success of his film Barbarian (2022), Cregger began working on a spec script titled Weapons, and after entering the market in January 2023, the script prompted a bidding war between several studios, with New Line Cinema emerging as the victor. Casting initially ran from May to July of that year before several actors dropped out due to scheduling conflicts, which was a result of production delays during the 2023 Hollywood labour disputes.
Nevertheless, casting resumed in February 2024 and ended that May, when filming began in Atlanta, and wrapped that July. Cregger auctioned the rights to the film's script for $38 million.
Weapons was released in theatres in the United States by Warner Bros. Pictures on August 8, 2025. The film received positive reviews and grossed $265 million worldwide.
