Ben Young’s sci-fi horror film Extinction has a sordid history. The film, which stars Michael Pena and Lizzy Caplan, was originally set to be released by Universal this past January before the studio pulled it from its release slate back in November.
Then in February, Netflix stepped up to release the film, which follows a father (Pena) trying to save his family during an alien invasion. And today, Netflix just announced the movie will be hitting its streaming service on July 27th.
