Black Bear picked up the film's distribution rights from Lionsgate, which had earlier scheduled a Jan. 17, 2025 theatrical debut, before it was pulled from its 2026 release slate. After Black Bear launched its own U.S. distribution operation, the indie studio and distributor stepped in to release In The Grey. As part of a collaboration with Black Bear, Lionsgate will continue to handle the film's digital and pay-TV distribution.

In the Grey features every ounce of his trademark style and wit, not to mention a hugely talented cast led by Jake, Henry, and Eiza. We are thankful to our partners at Lionsgate, whose flexibility and collaboration have been instrumental in bringing this together. We look forward to continuing to work with them as we bring this great film to audiences," Benjamin Kramer, president of U.S. distribution at Black Bear said in a statement on Tuesday. In The Grey stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Henry Cavill, Eiza González, Kristofer Hivju, Fisher Stevens and Rosamund Pike, and is written and directed by Ritchie. The film follows a covert team of elite operatives who live in the global shadows, as comfortable wielding power and influence as they are automatic weapons and high explosives. When a ruthless despot steals a billion-dollar fortune, the team is sent to steal it back on what would be for anyone else a suicide mission. What begins as an impossible heist gets much worse, spiraling into an all-out war of strategy, deception, and survival. In the Grey was produced by Guy Ritchie andIvan Atkinson for Toff Guy, John Friedberg for Black Bear and Dave Caplan for C2. In the Grey joins Black Bear's 2026 film slate that includes Shelter, an action thriller starring Jason Statham and directed by Ric Roman Waugh, to hit theaters on Jan. 30.
