Another Blumhouse title won’t be getting a theatrical release.
Last week it was announced that it was announced that The Veil, starring Thomas Jane and Jessica Alba, would be released direct to VOD and DVD.
Variety reports that Viral, a thriller about a deadly outbreak that brings a community to its knees, will be forgoing a theatrical release.
It will instead go the VOD route, or debut on streaming services or on television, although nothing is set in stone.
Viral centers on two sisters, Emma (Sofia Black D’Elia) and Stacey (Analeigh Tipton), whose humdrum lives in a suburban neighborhood are upended when their county is gripped by a parasitic virus. They find themselves quarantined and must fight to survive as others around them become infected.
Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, the duo behind Catfish and Paranormal Activity 3, co-directed the film from a script by Barbara Marshall and Christopher Landon.
