Harkins Theatres has finalized a new exhibition agreement with A24 after previous negotiations failed to secure terms. The cinema chain has begun listing titles such as Primetime and the documentary You Can See Everything on its website.

The film You Can See Everything is scheduled for release on October 14, 2026, with tickets currently available for purchase. The agreement follows a period in September 2026 when terms could not be reached between the two parties.
