After a seven-year gap, J.J. Abrams returned to the sci-fi genre as a producer some weeks ago with the original film The End of Oak Street. Directed by David Robert Mitchell, the film received positive reviews, but underperformed at the box office, grossing around $120 million worldwide against a reported budget of $80 million. Abrams hasn’t directed a movie since 2019’s Star Wars: Episode IX — The Rise of Skywalker. In fact, his one and only original movie was released back in 2010. It’s currently streaming on Paramount+, but only for a little while longer.
