Jason Blum and Blumhouse Productions have been the leading purveyors of on-screen terrors for several years now, and it doesn’t sound like they’re ready to slow down any time soon! According to Deadline, Blumhouse has put a few release dates on hold in Universal’s calendar.
Currently two untitled films will occupy February 24 and April 28 in 2017, raising the label’s total to four next year on the Universal schedule including M. Night Shyamalan’s Split on January 20 and a pre-Halloween title on October 20. Blumhouse also has (through Weinstein/Dimension) Amityville: The Awakening opening on January 6.
On February 24, 2017, Blumhouse will battle Paramount’s Bad Robot sci-fi thriller God Particle, while on April 28 the production company has the only title on the weekend, a week before summer kicks off with Guardians of the Galaxy 2 on May 5.
Also, Blumhouse is planning 2018 releases on January 5 and October 19. The first weekend in January is currently free and clear of any wide competition while October 19 has Warner Bros.’ Jungle Book: Origins.
Next up for Blumhouse this year are: BH Tilt’s The Darkness with Kevin Bacon, Radha Mitchell, and Matt Walsh; The Purge: Election Year on July 1 via Universal; and Ouija 2 on October 21.
