Here we go. Not even three weeks after the new The Exorcist film made its theatrical debut, it has now been announced that David Gordon Green's horror film will be released on digital platforms on October 24. In other words, just in time for Halloween, and thus barely 17 days after it premiered in cinemas.
We know that it was expensive for Universal to acquire the rights to The Exorcist, and Believer has not exactly convinced during the opening weekend. Neither in terms of critics' ratings nor in revenue, and especially not considering the money the studio spent to acquire and make it. Are these contributing factors to the film getting an earlier than planned digital release? Perhaps.
Either way, it's fun for all of us who can't make it to the cinema, and would rather enjoy films at home on the couch.
Are you going to see Believer in the cinema or would you rather wait for the digital release in two weeks?
