Production
In February 2018, it was announced that New Line Cinema was developing a remake of 'House Party' with LeBron James and Maverick Carter producing under their production company SpringHill Entertainment. Stephen Glover and Jamal Olori were attached to write the adaptation. In September 2019, it was announced that Calmatic had joined the production as director. The film was scheduled to be released exclusively on HBO Max via streaming.
In April 2021, Jorge Lendeborg Jr. and Tosin Cole were cast in lead roles. DC Young Fly joined the cast, followed in June by Karen Obilom, Melvin Gregg, Rotimi, Allen Maldonado, Shakira Ja'nai Paye, Andrew Santino, and Bill Bellamy. By July 2021, Lendeborg Jr. was replaced by Jacob Latimore, following the former's departure from the project to focus on improving his mental health. That same month, Tamera Kissen was cast in a supporting role.
Principal photography began on July 2, 2021, in California. Production was suspended later that month due to nine positive cases of COVID-19 reported, although only one was part of the production staff, while the rest were extras. Filming subsequently resumed on August 2, 2021.
Release
'House Party' will be theatrically released by Warner Bros. Pictures in the United States on December 9, 2022. It was originally set for a digital-only release on HBO Max on July 28, 2022, but was removed from Warner Bros' release schedule on July 11, 2022, just 17 days before release, before being moved to a theatrical release in August as part of a restructuring plan for film distribution at Warner Bros. that would see the studio relying less on HBO Max-only releases and more on theatrical releases.
