Deadline confirms that Universal Pictures has delayed a number of Blumhouse titles, including Halloween Kills and sequel, Halloween Ends. The former moves from October 16th this year to October 15th, 2021, while the follow-up has now taken the place of a previously untitled Blumhouse movie on October 14th, 2022.
John Carpenter and David Gordon Green have released a statement regarding the change which you can read below, and that comes accompanied with a brief, but exciting little teaser for the film which takes place immediately after the blazing events of the 2018 movie.
In other release date news, The Forever Purge is now coming our way on July 9th, 2021 after previously being set for this coming Friday (a slot it was obviously never going to meet after previously being removed altogether from the release calendar by Universal).
The bad news keeps on coming, though, because Candyman - which was set to be released on September 25th - has now taken Halloween Kills' planned release date on October 16th, this year.
Theaters in New York and Los Angeles are still unlikely to open in the foreseeable future thanks to COVID-19, but the studio is obviously hoping that things will have somewhat returned to normal by the fall.
