As oldhorror franchiseshave gottennew lease on lifein recent class , more and more mass have just wanted to get laid why Friday the 13th ca n’t get the same treatment . While the series was kept semi - alive with a video biz not too long ago , there has n’t been a new flick since the 2009 reboot . It sounds like even with the recent plans to set in motion aJason universe , it ’ll be some time before Mr. Voorhees is back on screen , though not alone for the intellect you think .
At the recent Texas Frightmare Weekend , series co - God Almighty Sean Cunningham was asked point blank what the holdup was with another Friday flick . alternatively of pointing a finger’s breadth at the franchise ’s infamously uncanny rights take , he suppose the biggest obstacle is concern on the studio apartment ’s end . He does n’t point a finger at any specific company , but he did say whichever studio apartment could get the ball roll belike does n’t need to put substantial money into a project that “ might not see a huge return on its investment . ” As far as he ’s have-to doe with , there wo n’t be another movie for “ at least ” three years .
He went on to say movie - check drug abuse have changed due to the pandemic , which is n’t alone false . Despite the performance of decent - sized strike likeDune : Part Twoand Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes , not all box offices are adequate . AfterThe Fall Guycame out in former May , Universal latterly put it on streaming while it ’s still presently running in theatre . 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 cyclosis numbers , but hit - and - young woman in terms of box office performance .

That being said , big horror motion-picture show tend to do passably well in theaters . Despite mixed or negative limited review , Tarot , The unknown : Chapter One , and Night Swim have done solid in the loge office . New Line , which own the Friday the 13th stylemark , is also the studio behind Evil Dead Rise and The Nun II , which both made their money back and then some last yr . It ’s not clear what make Friday the 13th an outlier , ditto why it ’s come such a eldritch streak ofbad luckbehind it .
Until that hypothetical new movie bring greenlit , Jason sports fan will have to comfort themselves with the Jason Universe : the Friday video game stay playable through the end of the year , and Jason himself is a playable character inMultiVersus , which launches next week .
