A new prequel film based on “The Shining” has been axed by Warner Bros. Discovery due to the poor box office performance of 2019’s “Doctor Sleep,” according to the film’s director Mike Flanagan.
“We were So Close. I’ll always regret this didn’t happen,” Director Mike Flanagan tweeted.

When asked by a Twitter user why the movie wasn’t happening, Flanagan responded, “Because of Doctor Sleep’s box office performance, Warner Bros opted not to proceed with it. They control the rights, so that was that.”
