It Follows

TWC-RADiUS’ It Follows was a pretty big deal at the box office last weekend.

For those worried they’ll never get to see it in a theater, prepare to get excited.

Bloody Disgusting has been informed that RADiUS and Dimension are further expanding their smash success It Follows into 1,655 theaters as of Friday, April 3rd.

One of the best-reviewed films of the year (95% on Rotten Tomatoes) has also been bolstered by strong word of mouth with audiences coming in droves – exemplified by its Top Five box office performance this past weekend.

Directed by David Robert Mitchell, “Maika Monroe plays 19-year-old Jay, who, after a seemingly innocent sexual encounter, suddenly finds herself plagued by nightmarish visions. She can’t shake the sensation that someone, or something, is following her. As the threat closes in, Jay and her friends must somehow escape the horrors that are only a few steps behind.”

For those who have seen it, read what the director had to say about the finale.

As we keep pushing on you: I gave It Follows a perfect score, calling it “a classical horror masterpiece.” Mike Pereira referred to as a creepy, mesmerizing exercise in minimalist horror” when reviewed out of the TIFF last September.

“Daywalkers Make It Look Easy” – Wesley Snipes Comments on Marvel’s ‘Blade’ Troubles

It has now been 26 years since Wesley Snipes first played Marvel’s vampire slayer Blade on the big screen, and 20 years since the last time he played the character in Blade: Trinity. The role is next being taken over by Mahershala Ali in Marvel’s upcoming reboot movie, but at this point we’re starting to wonder if we’re ever going to meet Ali’s Blade on the big screen.

It’s no secret that the brand new Blade movie has been bumped all over the release calendar the last couple years, currently set for theatrical release on November 7, 2025. But the movie is without a director at the moment, with Yann Demange (“Lovecraft Country”) departing the project in the wake of Bassam Tariq (Mogul Mowgli) exiting the film back in 2022.

Taking to Twitter over the weekend, Wesley Snipes offered his own thoughts on the behind the scenes struggles to bring his most iconic big screen character back to the big screen.

Snipes tweets, “Blade, lordylordylordy 👀 folks still lookin for the secret sauce, ridin snowmobiles in traffic, kinda rough. Daywalkers make it look easy, don’t they?”

Marvel’s Blade reboot starring Mahershala Ali was originally announced at San Diego Comic-Con back in 2019. Since then, creative differences have repeatedly delayed the project.

At this time, Mia Goth (X, Pearl, MaXXXine) is also on board to star.

Stay tuned for more as we learn it.

The vampire-slaying character was created by writer Marv Wolfman and artist Gene Colan, introduced in July 1973’s The Tomb of Dracula #10. Wesley Snipes played Blade across three films from 1998 through 2004, and he was played by Sticky Fingaz in a short-lived TV series.
