‘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…
Jennifer Holland (“Peacemaker”) and Dave Annable (“Lioness”) will lead the cast of upcoming supernatural Civil War thriller Brine, Deadline reports this afternoon.
B.J. Golnick (“Hunting Hitler”) will be directing Brine.
Brine follows a family of Confederate deserters who escape the Union bombardment of Fort Pulaski with a cache of stolen gold and disappear into the Georgia marshlands.
When they take refuge in a remote plantation house, what first appears to be salvation slowly reveals itself as part of something ancient, predatory and impossible to escape.
Jonah Wharton (Lioness), Sissy Sheridan (Chicken Girls), and Grayson Lay (Outer Banks) also star. The screenplay was written by B.J. Golnick and Jeremy Miller.
“Brine is a story about survival, but it is also a story about inheritance…The violence we pass down, the myths we create to justify it, and the cost of trying to break free,” Golnick previews.
“We intend for the film to feel intimate, historically grounded and deeply unnerving, as if the supernatural elements weren’t invented, but unearthed from the marsh itself.”
