Universal Pictures has just announced (via Deadline) release dates – in some cases, new release dates for movies that are shifting around on their schedule – for five upcoming horror films… and every one of them happens to be a Blumhouse production. The movies in question are The Woman in the Yard, Drop, The Black Phone 2, M3GAN 2.0, and Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 – and we’re about to go through them one-by-one.
First up is the thriller The Woman in the Yard, which was once set to reach theatres on January 10, 2025, but was bumped out of that date so the Blumhouse reboot of Wolf Man could move from this October to January 17th. Jaume Collet-Serra is directing the film, which stars Danielle Deadwyler of The Devil to Pay and Till, Okwui Okpokwasili of The Exorcist: Believer and I Am Legend, and Russell Hornsby of The Hate U Give and Fences.

2017-10-24T07:17:06-07:00Leah Remini Isn't Saving 'Kevin Can Wait'
If the producers of Kevin Can Wait hoped that firing Erinn Hayes and hiring Leah Remini would generate excitement among fans, they've got to be disappointed. Not only have ratings for the series not improved since the changes were made, they've actually declined steadily over the first three episodes of the season. Many fans were confused and angered by the decision to fire Hayes, and it didn't help that the loss of her character was almost totally ignored in the series' scripts.
While one supporting actor on the series claims that the ouster of Hayes was planned all along, star Kevin James has admitted the producers made the change because they were "out of ideas" for the series. It's an extremely bad sign when producers are out of ideas for a series before the first season is even over.

It's not personal, it's the business of comedy... Kevin Can Wait has been making headlines ever since producers killed off Kevin James' current TV wife Erinn Hayes for his one-time TV wife Leah Remini. And now one of the show's cast members, Chris Roach, who plays Mott on CBS' sitcom, says that after he saw the former King of Queens stars play off each other, he understood what all the fuss was about. In an interview with Chanel Omari on StarShop on Monday, Roach said that everyone on set was talking about Remini and James' onscreen connection and that the first time he saw James with Remini, who appeared on season one as a guest star, he was floored. James and Remini...
