The principal photography on the film began on October 27, 2014, in New Orleans, Louisiana.[2] [3] In mid-November, filming was also taken place in Slidell.[4] Filming would end December 7, 2014.[4]

Release

The film was previously scheduled to release on October 9, 2015,[5] but in July 2015 Relativity pushed back the film to February 26, 2016, because the company was facing financial crisis.[6] Before being re-scheduled to May 13, 2016.[7] On March 14, 2016, it was revealed that Kidnap would be the first post-bankruptcy film which uses August 16, 2016 as a new release date, pushing The Disappointments Room and Before I Wake off the release schedule.[8] Before I Wake will be released in an unspecified 2016 date, while The Disappointments Room will be released in December 16, 2016, 9 days before Christmas Day.
