Olivia Wilde Invites You to the Dinner Party from Hell in First Trailer for ‘The Invite’
Wilde, Rogen, Cruz, and Norton lead a star studded domestic meltdown. Secrets spill and social graces snap in a wild swinger comedy. Brace yourselves.
Olivia Wilde is officially back, and she’s bringing a chaotic, star studded dinner party from hell to the big screen. The first trailer for THE INVITE just dropped, and it’s every bit the "unpredictable Sundance sensation" the critics promised. Wilde isn't just behind the camera this time; she’s right in the thick of the mess, starring alongside a heavy hitting trio: Seth Rogen, Penélope Cruz, and Edward Norton.
The premise is a nightmare wrapped in a social grace. Joe and Angela’s marriage is basically on life support, and tonight was supposed to be the band aid. They’ve invited their enigmatic upstairs neighbors over, but what starts as polite small talk quickly devolves into a psychological wrecking ball. In a night where everything that can go wrong goes worse, the film asks the ultimate uncomfortable question: is this dinner the spark that saves them, or the match that burns their entire life to the ground?
Expect a masterclass in cringe. The script comes from the minds of Rashida Jones and Will McCormack, meaning the dialogue is guaranteed to be as sharp as the kitchen knives on display. This isn't just a comedy; it’s a high stakes autopsy of modern relationships, social anxiety, and the secrets we keep from the people across the hall.
The global rollout kicks off this summer. Stateside, A24 brings it to select theaters on 26 June 2026 before going wide in July. For those in the UK and Ireland, Black Bear will release the chaos in cinemas on 3 July 2026.
