Sean Cunningham opens up on why the powers that be won't just let Jason Voorhees slash it up on the silver screen again.
As old horror franchises have gotten new leases on life in recent years, more and more people have just wanted to know why Friday the 13th can’t get the same treatment. While the series was kept semi-alive with a video game not too long ago, there hasn’t been a new movie since the 2009 reboot. It sounds like even with the recent plans to launch a Jason universe, it’ll be some time before Mr. Voorhees is back on screen, though not entirely for the reasons you think.
After The Fall Guy came out in early May, Universal recently put it on streaming while it’s still currently running in theaters. In the pandemic’s fairly early days, Warner Bros. and Disney elected to do same-day streaming with some movies like Mortal Kombat and Raya & the Last Dragon, which would make for good bragging with streaming numbers, but hit-and-miss in terms of box office performance. That being said, big horror movies tend to do fairly well in theaters.
