Sarah Paulson-Starring ‘Run’ is a Record-Breaking Success for Hulu; Stephen King Tweets Rave Review

The new movie from Searching director Aneesh Chaganty, Lionsgate’s thriller Run debuted exclusively on Hulu last week, and its been a smash hit success for the streamer thus far.

According to a Deadline report today, “The Sarah Paulson thriller Run has become Hulu’s most watched feature title ever during its opening weekend, and has ranked as the most talked about Hulu Original Film to date on Twitter.”

How many people have streamed the film since its premiere last week? Hulu hasn’t actually provided that number, but we can safely assume that the answer is somewhere in the ball park of “a whole lot of people.” The previous record holder in this particular category was the Hulu Original comedy Palm Springs, which debuted on Hulu this past summer.

Even more good news for Run came courtesy of a tweet from Stephen King this week, who praised that the film offers “no extraneous bullshit… just nerve-splintering terror.”

In her review for Bloody Disgusting, Meagan Navarro wrote, “Run is well-crafted and a highly entertaining thriller that’ll keep you hooked from beginning to end. It’s well shot and edited, and grounded by two fantastic leading ladies.”

“American Horror Story” vet Sarah Paulson plays a mother raising her teen daughter (Kiera Allen) in isolation. Chloe’s life begins to unravel as she discovers her mom’s sinister secret.

All the signs are telling Chloe to run away from her mom. The only problem? She can’t.

In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.

Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).

The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.

The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”

Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”

Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
