Put on your dancin’ shoes – it’s time for some release date shuffling! Originally slated for October 23, 2015, The Conjuring 2, which is still in very early stages, has been moved to 2016 by Warner Bros. and replaced by a so far unnamed horror film from New Line’s existing stable.
When reporting the move, Deadline speculated that the prime Halloween season time slot vacated by the still director-less sequel to James Wan’s mega hit The Conjuring could be filled by Phil Claydon’s Crawlspace, which stars “Bates Motel’s” Michael Vartan as a widower who moves into a seemingly perfect new home with his daughter and new wife, or possibly Superstition, the Blumhouse-360 Film production directed by first-time helmers Chris Lofing and Travis Cluff, which revolves around a family that moves into a house that was once the site of a witch’s execution.
Either way, they’ll have some competition from the other film already announced for that date, Jem and the Holograms, followed the next week by Paramount’s Scouts vs. Zombies, another recent shufflee.
More soon!
