Universal Pictures, Atomic Monster and Blumhouse’s Night Swim is now opening on Jan. 5, 2024 instead of Jan. 19.
That first weekend of the New Year is a highly coveted spot for horror movies. That’s where Blumhouse/Universal’s M3GAN opened to $30.4M and went on to gross $95M.
Night Swim logline: No running. No diving. No lifeguard on duty. No swimming after dark.
The supernatural thriller is based on the acclaimed 2014 short film by Bryce McGuire and Rod Blackhurst. Movie stars Wyatt Russell (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Under the Banner of Heaven) and Oscar and Golden Globe nominee Kerry Condon (The Banshees of Inisherin, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri) and centers on a hidden source of terror in an iconic backyard swimming pool.
McGuire (writer of the upcoming film Baghead) directed and wrote with Rod Blackhurst. James Wan produces with Jason Blum. The film is executive produced by Michael Clear and Judson Scott for Wan’s Atomic Monster and by Ryan Turek for Blum’s Blumhouse.
