Halloween Kills to debut simultaneously in theaters and on the Peacock streaming service

While Halloween Kills will still hit theaters on October 15, Universal has announced that it will arrive on Peacock on the same day.

The latest entry in the Halloween franchise will be available to all Peacock Premium and Premium Plus subscribers at no additional cost and adopts a similar strategy to Universal’s The Boss Baby: Family Business, which itself has also become a theater the same. day and a Peacock outing. plan.

Halloween Kills is a 2018 Halloween sequel and will have plenty going on because this debut movie not only had the biggest opening weekend for a horror movie starring a female lead (Come on Jamie Lee Curtis!) But it’s also the highest-grossing Halloween movie and with worldwide box office revenues of over $ 250 million.

Halloween Kills takes place right after Halloween in 2018 and sees Michael Myers escape his fate to once again take on Curtis’ Laurie Strode, Judy Greer’s Karen, Andi Matichak’s Allyson, and more. In this story, however, the Strode family joins other survivors of Myers’ first attack to unite to end his reign of terror once and for all.

In our Halloween Kills review, we said it “delivers deliciously gory killings and a nod to the original John Carpenter classic, but still feels like half a movie.”

This may seem like a half-movie as it is the second film in a trilogy that is set to end with Halloween Ends. Director David Gordon Green said Halloween Ends was meant to “bring the Michael Myers and Laurie Strode saga to an end.”

Halloween Kills is just one of 40 movies we’ve picked as the best fall movies to look forward to this year alongside Dune, Marvel’s Eternals, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, and more.
