Reminiscence is scheduled to be released in the United States by Warner Bros. Pictures on August 20, 2021.[2] It was originally scheduled to be released on April 16, 2021,[12] before the slot was replaced by Mortal Kombat and the film was left undated, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[13] It was later rescheduled to be released theatrically in the United States on September 3, 2021, with an international theatrical rollout beginning on August 25, 2021.[14] The release date in the United States was then moved up to August 27 to avoid competition with Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and then again to August 20.[2] As part of its plans for all of its 2021 films, Warner Bros. will also stream Reminiscence simultaneously on the HBO Max service in the United States for a period of one month, after which the film will be removed until the normal home media release schedule period.[3]
