\u201cHalloween Kills,\u201d the upcoming entry in\u00a0Universal\u2019s slasher franchise, will debut on\u00a0Peacock\u00a0on the same day as its theatrical release.<\/span><\/p>\n

Starring\u00a0Jamie Lee Curtis\u00a0as the avenging teen-babysitter-turned-grandmother Laurie Strode, \u201cHalloween Kills\u201d is scheduled to debut on Oct. 15.<\/span><\/p>\n

The scary sequel will be available to Peacock Premium subscribers at no extra fee. The service launched in 2020 and runs at $4.99 per month for its ad-supported tier or $9.99 without advertisements.<\/span><\/p>\n

Universal first deployed a day-and-date strategy on Peacock earlier this summer with \u201cThe Boss Baby: Family Business.\u201d The animated adventure film made $57 million at the domestic box office and $48 million internationally, which isn\u2019t a bad result given the ongoing COVID-19 crisis but (expectedly) didn\u2019t come close to matching ticket sales for its predecessor. \u201cThe Boss Baby\u201d premiered in 2016, at a time when the thought of a world-altering pandemic felt like the plot of a Steven Soderbergh movie, and it became a surprise hit with $175 million in North America and $352 million overseas.<\/span><\/p>\n

For \u201cThe Boss Baby: Family Business,\u201d the studio didn\u2019t report the number of people who opted to watch the exploits of the entrepreneurial toddler, voiced by Alec Baldwin, on Peacock. However, the company\u2019s corporate overlords must have been happy with the results since it\u2019s replicating the hybrid release model for \u201cHalloween Kills,\u201d which had the potential to make a killing in theaters. It\u2019s a sequel to 2018\u2019s \u201cHalloween,\u201d which revived a decades-old franchise and generated $255 million globally, making it the highest-grossing slasher film in history (unadjusted for inflation).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHalloween Kills\u201d is the latest in a long line of pandemic-era releases to deviate from a standard theatrical rollout. Since movie theater attendance has remained low, traditional Hollywood studios, such as Warner Bros. and Disney, have opted to put many of their biggest movies simultaneously on the big screen and streaming platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n

Though growing Peacock\u2019s subscriber base remains a priority for Universal\u2019s parent company, the studio has maintained its commitment to multiplexes through a pact it established last year. Under the formal agreement with cinema chains, including AMC and Cinemark, Universal can put its new movies on-demand after 17 days in theaters. Prior to the pandemic, studios had to keep their new releases on the big screen for at least 75 days. COVID, however, dramatically shifted the power dynamic between cinema operators and distributors. Universal is the only major studio with a written arrangement for theatrical windows. Its rivals are expected to converge on a 45-day window once the pandemic abates.<\/span><\/p>\n

Directed by David Gordon Green and produced by Blumhouse, \u201cHalloween Kills\u201d takes place minutes after Laurie Strode, her daughter Karen (Judy Greer) and granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) left the masked murderer Michael Myers \u2014 who has been torturing the eldest Strode for essentially her entire life \u2014 caged and burning in the basement. But as Laurie is rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, Michael manages to free himself and continue his ritual bloodbath on the spooky holiday.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHalloween Kills\u201d had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival.\u00a0Variety\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0chief film critic Owen Gleiberman wasn\u2019t impressed with the latest return to the town of Haddonfield.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
