Lionsgate has set a June 5, 2026, release date for the John Carney-directed "Power Ballad," starring Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas.
In the movie, co-written by Carney and Peter McDonald, Rick (Rudd), a past-his-prime wedding singer, meets fading boy-band star Danny (Jonas) during a gig.
The two bond over music and a late-night jam session. But when Danny turns one of Rick’s songs into the hit that reignites his career, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves – even if it means risking everything he cares about. The pic is billed as being a feel-good story about music, self-respect, friendship, and the price of ambition.
McDonald also stars with Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu, and Jack Reynor. Producers are Anthony Bregman, John Carney, Peter Cron, Rebecca O’Flanagan, and Robert Walpole. 30West fully financed and executive produced the pic.
"Power Ballad" will open up against Amazon MGM Studios’ "Masters of the Universe" from filmmaker Travis Knight, as well as Warner Bros and Legendary’s hybrid live-action animated title, "Animal Friends".
Upcoming for Lionsgate is "I Wish You All the Best" on November 7 through their Lionsgate Premiere label, "Now You See Me: Now You Don’t" on November 14, "Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair" on December 5, Paul Feig’s "The Housemaid" starring Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried on December 19, "Greenland 2: Migration" on January 9, 2026; "I Can Only Image 2" on February 20, and Michael, the "Michael Jackson" biopic from Antoine Fuqua on April 24, 2026.
