His second feature, 30 Minutes or Less, opened in theaters on August 12, 2011.[9]

Fleischer directed Gangster Squad, a 2013 action thriller film, based on the special tactical group created by the LAPD to combat the Los Angeles crime family.[10] He next directed Venom, a film about Marvel Comics character Eddie Brock, starring Tom Hardy; it was released on October 5, 2018.[11]

In 2019, he directed Zombieland: Double Tap, reuniting the four original leads.[12] In February 2020, he was hired to direct Uncharted, based on the video game series of the same name.[13] In September 2022, he was hired to direct Now You See Me 3.[14]
