In addition to this announcement, Paramount has also admitted that it will push the release of the latest The Ring sequel, Rings, from this October to February 2017.
According to a brand new report from Comingsoon.net, it appears that the latest installment in the Friday the 13th series has once again experienced another delay.
Although we had previously reported that the next chapter in Jason’s iconic rampage against teen sex would hit theaters in January 2017, it now seems that Paramount has pushed the film to an October 13, 2017 release.
No specific rationale was provided for the decision to move these releases, but Paramount is expected to take a serious financial hit within the next year, so perhaps it was just the result of them going back to the drawing board.
