‘Paranormal 5’ and ‘Scouts Vs Zombies’ to Redefine Release Windows!
Sick of waiting months and months to see a movie when it exits theaters? What if I told you that you won’t even have to wait anymore, and that two major horror releases could hit your home while also in theaters?
Here’s the details that could be a game-changer.
Paramount Pictures, AMC Theatres and Cineplex Entertainment announced a first-of-its-kind in-theater and digital revenue-sharing initiative that could potentially redefine home digital distribution windowing, reports Home Media Magazine.
Under the agreement, upcoming Paramount releases Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension and the newly titled Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse (formerly Scouts Vs Zombies) will be given a wide release this fall with digital home entertainment purchase available 17 days after the film dips below 300 domestic theaters!
In effect, consumers for the first time could get retail access to theatrical movies still showing in theaters.
Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension will be released October 23 and Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse will be released October 30.
As soon as they drop into 300 or less theaters, watch for it to hit your favorite VOD platform…
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
