The End of Oak Street, the latest film from It Follows writer/director David Robert Mitchell, has been taking a long, slow road out into the world. For three years, we’ve been hearing updates on this mysterious Warner Bros. Pictures / Jackson Pictures / Bad Robot project. We didn’t even know the title for most of that time – and when a title was first revealed, it was called Flowervale Street. Now we know that the movie is actually called The End of Oak Street. Having missed the May 16, 2025 release date that it previously had, it’s now heading for an August 14, 2026 theatrical release – and with that date right around the corner, the movie has officially earned a PG-13 rating from the MPA ratings board.
The End of Oak Street has been rated PG-13 for some strong violent content, bloody images, some strong language and suggestive material.

I have been sold on this one for a long time, ever since sources described it as “a family adventure set in the 1980s that involves dinosaurs.”
