According to The Hollywood Reporter, 20th Century Studios and New Regency have pushed back the release of horror movie Barbarian from August 31st to September 9th.

What’s Happening:

  • Originally set to be released on August 31st, Barbarian will now come to theaters a week and a half later on September 9th.
  • No reason was cited for the move, but early September is a favored date for horror releases, such as the recent two-part adaptation of Stephen King’s It.

  • In Barbarian, a young woman traveling to Detroit for a job interview books a rental home. But when she arrives late at night, she discovers that the house is double booked, and a strange man is already staying there. Against her better judgement, she decides to spend the evening, but soon discovers that there’s a lot more to fear than just an unexpected house guest.
  • From 20th Century Studios and New Regency, Barbarian stars Georgina Campbell, Bill Skarsgård, Justin Long, Matthew Patrick Davis, Richard Brake, Kurt Braunohler and Jaymes Butler.
  • The film was written and directed by Zach Cregger. The producers are Arnon Milchan, Roy Lee, Raphael Margules and J.D. Lifshitz. Yariv Milchan, Michael Schaefer, Natalie Lehmann, Danny Chan, Alex Lebovici and Bill Skarsgård are the film’s executive producers.
