Today has been a busy day for
Paramount Pictures and Universal Pictures. Both studios have announced some
changes in their release schedule for 2016 and 2018, which includes the horror movie Rings,
the comedy/drama Everybody Wants Some, and a yet untitled monster movie.
First, Universal has decided they did
not want their yet untitled entry in the classic movie monsters franchise they
are putting together to compete with Ready Player One, the upcoming sci-fi
movie Steven Spielberg is directing for Warner Bros., and that is schedule to
open in theaters on March 30, 2018. The monster movie will now open on April
13, 2018. So far in the same month there is an untitled Laika movie, and an
also untitled New Line tentpole.
Spielberg's Ready Player One was also
a victim of rescheduling not too long when Lucasfilm decided to move Rian
Johnson's Star Wars: Episode VIII for the same day.
Moving on to Paramount, the studio
has just announced that Richard Linklater's '80s college baseball comedy and
spiritual to Dazed and Confused, Everybody Wants Some, is moving up the release
schedule and will now have a limited release on April 1st before going wide on
April 8. The movie was originally set for a wide release on April 15. The April
1st date puts Everybody Wants Some in direct "competition" with
Amityville: The Awakening (horror), Collider (action), The Dark Horse (drama),
God's Not Dead 2 (drama), Miles Ahead (drama), and Standing Tall (Int. drama). Meanwhile,
the April 8 date sees the comedy going up against Before I Wake (horror), The
Boss (comedy), Demolition (drama), Hardcore Henry (action thriller), The
Invitation (horror thriller), Louder than Bombs (drama), and Wedding Doll (drama).
As for Rings, Paramount's other
project, it also shifted dates. The sequel to The Ring will now open in
theaters on October 28 and not April 1. The new release date is more troublesome
than the ones for the previous two movies. Rings will now open against Ron
Howard's Inferno (thriller), and an untitled horror project from Lionsgate. And
as if those two project weren't enough the sequel to Ouija comes out the week
prior.
