‘Ghostbusters’ Among Several Films With Premiere Date Pushbacks Due To Strike

Published

ghostbusters 2024

Earlier this year, the Writers Guild of America went on strike mostly due to financial compensations, and then shortly after the Screen Actors Guild joined them. In doing so, this has stopped the filming and writing of many movies and tv shows. This has led to the inevitable pushback of many movie release dates. This includes films like Avatar 3, Avengers: Secret Wars, Kraven the Hunter, and many more. Check out the list of some of the movies below and their new release dates.

Avatar 3

After the mega success of the second film Avatar: The Way of Water, it was clear that Avatar 3 was a go. Both the 2nd and 3rd films were shot simultaneously. The movie went on to make a total of $2.32B at the box office. Disney has announced that there would be an Avatar 3, 4, and 5 on the way from James Cameron. The film has now been pushed back to the release date of Dec. 19th, 2025, from its original Dec. 20th, 2024, date.


Avengers: Secret Wars

Marvel Studios has been in a bit of shambles recently and the pushback adds to it. The recent controversy surrounding the actor for Kang the Conqueror has made this phase of Marvel films uncertain. Also, many recent Marvel films and shows haven’t been received well by both fans and critics which has led to poor box office revenue. The Avengers films are a big part of the Marvel universe and now the most anticipated one yet has been pushed back to May 7th, 2027, from its original release date of May 7th, 2025.


Kraven the Hunter

This movie marks the first R-rated film in the Spiderman universe. After the massive success of Spiderman: No Way Home, Sony has been creating spinoff movies for villains and characters in the Spiderman universe. One of these films will follow the story of Kraven the Hunter and looks extra bloody in its recent red band trailer. The film has been pushed back to August 30th, 2024, from its original release date of October 6th, 2023. Check out the official red band trailer below.


Untitled Ghostbusters: Afterlife Sequel

This is one movie that fans will look forward to. From a famous movie theme song to the iconic ghost Slimer, it’s no wonder this franchise is popular. Ghostbusters: Afterlife did decent at the box office and was greenlit for a sequel. The film has now been pushed back to March 29th, 2024, from its original release date of December 20th, 2023.


Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse

The animated Spider-Verse has been a massive success both financially and among fans and critics alike. Miles Morales Spider-Man has gained popularity with these animated films and video games. Unfortunately, this film has been delayed indefinitely with no release date in sight. The original release date was set for March 29th, 2024.

This are just a few of the films that have had premiere dates pushed back. With AMPTP not wanting to cooperate or negotiate with the guilds, these dates are subject to change and be pushed back further.

The Top-Searched Free Horror/Action Movies on Tubi This Week

Published

on

The free streaming service Tubi is a great place to scroll when you’re unsure what to watch. They are not sponsored or affiliated with iHorror. Still, we really appreciate their library because it’s so robust and has many obscure horror movies so rare you can’t find them anywhere in the wild except, if you’re lucky, in a moist cardboard box at a yard sale. Other than Tubi, where else are you going to find Nightwish (1990), Spookies (1986), or The Power (1984)?

We take a look at the most searched horror titles on the platform this week, hopefully, to save you some time in your endeavor to find something free to watch on Tubi.

Interestingly at the top of the list is one of the most polarizing sequels ever made, the female-led Ghostbusters reboot from 2016. Perhaps viewers have seen the latest sequel Frozen Empire and are curious about this franchise anomaly. They will be happy to know it’s not as bad as some think and is genuinely funny in spots.

So take a look at the list below and tell us if you are interested in any of them this weekend.

Thrills and Chills: Ranking ‘Radio Silence’ Films from Bloody Brilliant to Just Bloody

Published

on

Radio Silence Films

Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett, and Chad Villella are all filmmakers under the collective label called Radio Silence. Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett are the primary directors under that moniker while Villella produces.

They have gained popularity over the past 13 years and their films have become known as having a certain Radio Silence “signature.” They are bloody, usually contain monsters, and have breakneck action sequences. Their recent film Abigail exemplifies that signature and is perhaps their best film yet. They are currently working on a reboot of John Carpenter’s Escape From New York.

We thought we would go through the list of projects they have directed and rank them from high to low. None of the movies and shorts on this list are bad, they all have their merits. These rankings from top to bottom are just ones we felt showcased their talents the best.

We didn’t include movies they produced but didn’t direct.

#1. Abigail

An update to the second film on this list, Abagail is the natural progression of Radio Silence’s love of lockdown horror. It follows in pretty much the same footsteps of Ready or Not, but manages to go one better — make it about vampires.

Abigail

#2. Ready or Not

This film put Radio Silence on the map. While not as successful at the box office as some of their other films, Ready or Not proved that the team could step outside their limited anthology space and create a fun, thrilling, and bloody adventure-length film.

Ready or Not

#3. Scream (2022)

While Scream will always be a polarizing franchise, this prequel, sequel, reboot — however you want to label it showed just how much Radio Silence knew the source material. It wasn’t lazy or cash-grabby, just a good time with legendary characters we love and new ones who grew on us.

Scream (2022)

#4 Southbound (The Way Out)

Radio Silence tosses their found footage modus operandi for this anthology film. Responsible for the bookend stories, they create a terrifying world in their segment titled The Way Out, which involves strange floating beings and some sort of time loop. It’s kind of the first time we see their work without a shaky cam. If we were to rank this entire film, it would remain at this position on the list.

Southbound

#5. V/H/S (10/31/98)

The film that started it all for Radio Silence. Or should we say the segment that started it all. Even though this isn’t feature-length what they managed to do with the time they had was very good. Their chapter was titled 10/31/98, a found-footage short involving a group of friends who crash what they think is a staged exorcism only to learn not to assume things on Halloween night.

V/H/S

#6. Scream VI

Cranking up the action, moving to the big city and letting Ghostface use a shotgun, Scream VI turned the franchise on its head. Like their first one, this film played with canon and managed to win over a lot of fans in its direction, but alienated others for coloring too far outside the lines of Wes Craven’s beloved series. If any sequel was showing how the trope was going stale it was Scream VI, but it managed to squeeze some fresh blood out of this nearly three-decade mainstay.

Scream VI

#7. Devil’s Due

Fairly underrated, this, Radio Silence’s first feature-length film, is a sampler of things they took from V/H/S. It was filmed in an omnipresent found footage style, showcasing a form of possession, and features clueless men. Since this was their first bonafide major studio job it’s a wonderful touchstone to see how far they have come with their storytelling.
