‘Good Boy’ Getting an Expanded Theatrical Release After Massive Trailer Viewership
One of the most anticipated new horror movies this coming Fall is director Ben Leonberg’s Good Boy, which traps a canine protagonist inside a haunted house. The film’s official trailer became a huge topic of conversation on the internet last week, and IFC is responding to the buzz and social media chatter by expanding their original theatrical plans for this Good Boy.
Entertainment Weekly reports that Good Boy will “now receive a wide release from IFC.” The original plan, the site notes, was to bring the film only to limited/select theaters. This decision has come in the wake of Google searches for the film spiking – most are looking to make sure the canine lead survives the movie! – and the official trailer hitting almost 2 million views.
So does the dog survive? We’ve got the answer if you’re okay with the spoilers…
Good Boy releases in theaters nationwide from Independent Film Company on October 3!
In Good Boy, “A loyal dog moves to a rural family home with his owner Todd, only to discover supernatural forces lurking in the shadows. As dark entities threaten his human companion, the brave pup must fight to protect the one he loves most.”
Ben Leonberg makes his feature directorial debut from a script he co-wrote with Alex Cannon. The film stars Indy, Ben Leonberg’s real-life canine best friend, with the cast also including indie horror stalwart Larry Fessenden, Shane Jensen, and Arielle Friedman.
