I’m really surprised how Stephen King’s upcoming remake is handled

The new first-look images at Warner Bros. Salem’s place Makes me wish that this movie is getting the theatrical release it deserves. Now that Salem’s place It looks like it will be one of the best installments From the long list of the most anticipated upcoming Stephen King movies, I’m afraid this movie will get a direct-to-streaming release on Max. However, since both Salem’s place Installments (1979 and 2004) were released as TV movies, I guess it’s only right that the 2024 version follows suit.

Salem’s place Faced extended delays that pushed its release date back to late 2024, meaning it would have competed with Robert Eggers’ highly-initiated Nosferatu If it was released in theaters. Still, with the Halloween season fast approaching, Salem’s place It probably could have attracted a decent enough audience if it timed its theatrical release window appropriately. The new first-look Salem’s place Pictures, never-before-seen footage of Lewis Pullman, Bill Camp, and more have me wishing I could preorder my theater tickets already.

The atmosphere and visual style look even better than I expected

The production delays for Salem’s place Looks to have paid off based on the new first-look images from the upcoming movie. Although it will still probably look great on Max at home, The atmosphere and visual style both exceeded my expectationsMaking me wonder how great they would look on a real theater screen. The movie is currently listed as “finished,” which is something it hasn’t been able to say for a long time, but perhaps Warner Bros. will want to rethink its release strategy based on how much potential it currently has.

There is certainly still time for Warner Bros. Salem’s placeAnd perhaps it will take into account the positive comments based on its first-look photos. It may try to use a similar strategy as Apple’s latest new releases, which have offered A limited theatrical run before confirming a definitive streaming release date. Salem’s place Could be a good way for Warner Bros.

The straight-to-streaming release schedule for Salem’s Room is now even more disappointing

It’s hard to hide my disappointment in not even having the option to see Salem’s place On the big screen, but in this day and age, it’s understandable. Although it may not be as great as a Stephen King movie itIt certainly has a degree of that appeal that could have resulted in a surprise box office hit for Warner Bros. Salem’s place Still doesn’t have a set streaming release date on Max but is expected in October 2024So it’s not out of the realm of possibility that Salem’s place Could get a shot at the box office. The film is rumored to hit theaters in the UK on October 11, 2024, so hopefully it will get the same treatment in the United States.
