The film is scheduled to be released on June 30, 2017, by Dimension Films, a division of The Weinstein Company.

Doc... while I genuinely appreciate the Herculean task of keeping us updated, there are some things I just don't want to know!
And hasn't that poor house been abused enough already!?!

And hasn't that poor house been abused enough already!?!

I must admit, my mind boggled when I realised that this will be the eighteenth installment! Where have they been hiding all of these sequels?

“Amityville: The Awakening” Delayed Yet Again





Dimension Films and Blumhouse’s “Amityville: The Awakening” has once again been delayed, this time departing its June 30th release for a date to be determined.

Franck Khalfoun helmed the film which has been pushed back from release multiple times since its very first proposed release date of January 2015. Bella Thorne, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Cameron Monaghan star in the horror sequel which offers a modern twist on the story.

With the film gone, that week going into the July 4th holiday will now sport three releases – “Despicable Me 3,” “Baby Driver” and “The House”.

“Amityville” Being Released Free On Google Play

The horror film will be available for free exclusively on Google Play from October 12th to November 8th. The film will also score a limited theatrical release on October 28th.

Bella Thorne, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Jennifer Morrison, and Cameron Monaghan star in the film, check out a newly released clip below:

New “Amityville” Box-Office Is Legendarily Terrible





The Weinstein Company released its first film since the Harvey Weinstein scandal this weekend – and it did not go well.

The frequently delayed “Amityville: The Awakening,” announced in 2011, shot in early 2015 and finally released on Saturday, was pushed out by Weinstein’s Dimension Films label on to just ten screens. The Blumhouse Productions title stars Jennifer Jason Leigh, Cameron Monaghan and Bella Thorne and was already released for free on Google Play from October 12th, so the new film wasn’t expected to do much business domestically.

And boy did it match those expectations. The film came in 59th at the weekend box-office, raking in a total of $742 which means its per screen average sits at just $74 – one of the lowest PSAs for a new film ever recorded. To put that in comparison most films in the top ten had a per screen average (PSA) of $1,200-1,800, “Jigsaw” opened to a $5,525 PSA, and the weekend’s top PSA was “The Square” which opened on two screens with and nabbed $38,000 from each.

Despite its failure, it potentially isn’t the biggest bomb of the weekend thanks to its low cost and a $7.2 million overseas haul. Instead that honor goes to the blind Blake Lively thriller “All I See is You” which somehow cost a reported $30 million to make according to BOM and opened in 28th place with just $135,504 and a PSA of only $479.
