STX Entertainment has announced that they will be moving their horror film The Bye Bye Man once again. Originally, the movie was supposed to come out this October. Then the studio bumped it up to June 3rd, which delighted many excited viewers. However, the current move is sure to upset a few people as the new released date is December 9th, just in time for the holiday wave.
The studio did this because the June date put the film against the summer blockbuster Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, explains Deadline. The new date is wide open and doesn’t have any competition, as of yet.
“Set in 1990s Wisconsin, when three college students move into an old house off campus, they unwittingly unleash a supernatural entity known as The Bye Bye Man, who comes to prey upon them once they discover his name. The friends must try to save each other, all the while keeping The Bye Bye Man’s existence a secret to save others from the same deadly fate.”
Bye Bye Man stars Doug Jones, Carrie-Ann Moss, and Faye Dunaway and is directed by Stacy Title.
