Release Date For “Rings” Delayed

 

The Ring franchise threequel, Rings seems to be really struggling its way to theaters. Originally slated for a 2015 opening, Rings was pushed back once, twice, three times and now a fourth time. Also, Friday the 13th has been pushed back to a new release date next Halloween.

Rings was originally set to hit theaters in November 2015, then April 2016, then October 2016.  Today Paramount Pictures announced that Rings will be pushed back a fourth time, from October 28th, 2016 to February 3rd, 2017. Now that Rings is no longer opening in October, this will give Universal’s Ouija: Origin of Evil, opening October 21, less competition during the Halloween season.

Rings is directed by Javier Gutierrez based on a screenplay by Jacob Aaron Estes, Akiva Goldsman, and David Loucka. The film co-stars Johnny Galecki, Aimee Teegarden, Bonnie Morgan and Vincent D’Onofrio. Walter Parkes and Laurie Macdonald are producing.
