Zoë Kravitz started writing Blink Twice under the working title Pussy Island in 2017.[5][6] In June 2021, Kravitz revealed her plans to make her directorial debut with the film, the script of which she co-wrote with E.T. Feigenbaum. Channing Tatum signed on to star and, at the Cannes Film Market, MGM won the distribution rights as Naomi Ackie was cast as Frida, the film's lead role.[7][8][9] The rest of the cast was announced from May to June 2022, with Jordan Harkins and Stacy Perskie joining the film as executive producers.[10]
Filming began on June 23, 2022,[11] with production occurring in Yucatán and Quintana Roo, Mexico.[12] In January 2024, the film's title was changed from Pussy Island to Blink Twice;[13] Kravitz explained that issues formed with the Motion Picture Association (MPA) "not wanting to put it on a poster, or a billboard, or a kiosk; movie theaters not wanting to put it on a ticket" but also mentioned, "Interestingly enough, after researching it, women were offended by the word, and women seeing the title were saying, 'I don't want to see that movie,' which is part of the reason I wanted to try and use the word, which is trying to reclaim the word, and not make it something that we're so uncomfortable using. But we're not there yet. And I think that's something I have the responsibility as a filmmaker to listen to."[14]

Pictures releasing the film internationally on August 21, 2024.[15] On August 21, Amazon issued a trigger warning for the film on Twitter for "mature themes and depictions of violence — including sexual violence", which Variety noted was rare for a studio to do but part of a growing trend in Hollywood beyond MPA ratings.[16]
In the United States and Canada, Blink Twice will be released alongside The Crow, and is projected to gross $7–8 million from 3,000 theaters in its opening weekend.[2]
