Box Office: Chris Hemsworth, Halle Berry’s ‘Crime 101′ Lands Presidents’ Day Weekend 2026 Release (Exclusive)

Chris Hemsworth and Halle Berry‘s heist movie Crime 101 has landed a high-profile release date in theaters.

Amazon MGM Studios will open the film Feb. 13, the beginning of the long Valentine’s Day and Presidents’ Day weekend. This further cements the company’s aggressive move into the theatrical space as they make a bid to become a major Hollywood studio complete with an international distribution system. The plan is to release as many as 12 to 16 wide releases a year, including the next Bond movies, whenever that may be. (Amazon MGM is now home of the 007 franchise.)

Directed by Bart Layton, Crime 101 is based on author Don Winslow’s novella of the same name. The story follows detective Lou Lubesnick as he attempts to solve a string of multimillion-dollar jewel heists by tracking the perpetrator who follows a strict set of rules known as “Crime 101.” As the fates of the various characters converge, the line between hunter and hunted blurs. Layton wrote the adapted script.

Mark Ruffalo, Barry Keoghan, Monica Barbaro, Corey Hawkins, Tate Donovan, Devon Bostick, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Nick Nolte round out the cast.

Working Title produced Crime 101 alongside The Story Factory, RAW and Wild State. 

Last weekend, Amazon MGM’s Ben Affleck-starrer The Accountant 2 opened to a promising $24.5 million (Affleck has a longstanding relationship with top Amazon Studios marketing exec Sue Kroll).
