Universal Pictures is adjusting its plans for two upcoming horror titles from Blumhouse.
The studio announced Friday that Wolf Man, the werewolf thriller from filmmaker Leigh Whannell (Invisible Man), has delayed its release by three months and will now open wide in theaters on Jan. 17, 2025. Wolf Man, which stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is stalked by a dangerous predator, had previously been scheduled for a pre-Halloween release on Oct. 25, 2024.
Blumhouse and Motel Movies are behind Wolf Man, which also stars Julia Garner and previously had Ryan Gosling attached as the lead. Jason Blum produces the movie that counts Whannell, Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira and Mel Turner as executive producers.
Additionally, Universal announced that Blumhouses The Woman in the Yard, which was previously set for theatrical release on Jan. 10, 2025, has been removed from the calendar. The studio plans to announce a new release date at a later time.
The Woman in the Yard is directed by Jaume Collet-Serra (Black Adam) and stars Danielle Deadwyler (Till). Producers on the film are Blum and Stephanie Allain, while executive producers include Collet-Serra, Deadwyler, Gabrielle Ebron, Scott Greenberg and James Moran.
