Neighbors' Dinner Party Explodes with Secrets

The film "The Invite," directed by Olivia Wilde and featuring Seth Rogen and Penélope Cruz, is scheduled for its digital release on Prime Video on August 11, 2026. This release follows a limited theatrical run in India, which concluded on July 10, 2026. The movie centers on Joe and Angela, a couple facing relationship issues, who invite their upstairs neighbors, Hawk and Pina, for dinner.

What starts as a seemingly casual gathering quickly transforms into an unpredictable evening. The narrative explores themes of attraction, intimacy, and the hidden secrets individuals keep. The dinner party becomes a catalyst for confronting uncomfortable truths about themselves and their relationships, blurring the lines of friendship and marriage.

Olivia Wilde, in her third directorial venture, advocated for a theatrical release to allow audiences to experience the film's comedic and cathartic moments together. The screenplay, penned by Will McCormack and Rashida Jones, is based on the 2020 Spanish film "The People Upstairs." The film's reception has been encouraging, highlighting its unique blend of relationship drama and uncomfortable humor.
