The rundown
The Waiting Man (2026)
In 2022, the famous streaming group TOMNI was at the height of its popularity with over 7 million followers. Over the course of a week, their content changed and then they suddenly vanished. This is the footage recovered from their social media, computers, and SD cards. Experts believe the footage shows the worldwide phenomenon known as Alikabiha, also called the Waiting Man.
Opening against Minions & Monsters, this one will be fighting for the same weekend conversation.
It hits the big screen on July 4, 2026.
