LOS
ANGELES, April 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Cineverse (NASDAQ: CNVS), an innovative streaming
technology and entertainment company, and Bloody Disgusting,
its horror division, have today announced that it has chosen
Iconic Events Releasing as the theatrical distribution
partner for Terrifier 3 from filmmakers Damien Leone and Phil
Falcone.
The announcement was made at CinemaCon, taking place this
week in Las Vegas, and as the film
wraps production in New Jersey,
ahead of a Q4 2024 release in theaters nationwide. The two
companies previously partnered on distribution for Terrifier
2, 2022's instant cult slasher sensation, which was produced on
a micro-budget and then went on to generate more than $15 million at the global box office, generating
significant buzz, generating a scary amount of press coverage and
popping everywhere from Saturday Night Live and
Bupkis to rap lyrics and ugly holiday sweaters.
"Iconic absolutely crushed it for us with Terrifier 2,"
said Cineverse VP Business Development and Managing Director of
Bloody Disgusting, Brad Miska. "When
the film went viral, they did a tremendous job keeping up with the
hype and helped us secure thousands of screens across the country.
With several months to plan, we know they're the perfect partner to
help us take the franchise to the next level with Terrifier
3."
In the third installment of Damien
Leone's breakout horror film, Art the Clown is set to
unleash chaos on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they
peacefully drift off to sleep on Christmas Eve. Terrifier 3
is written and directed by Leone. Returning cast includes
Lauren LaVera, David Howard Thornton, Samantha Scaffidi, Elliot Fullam, and AEW superstar Chris Jericho.
"Iconic Events is thrilled to be able to continue our
partnership with Cineverse and showcase the next Terrifier film in
the only way it's meant to be seen…on the big screen," said
Steve Menkin, President & Co-Founder of Iconic Events
Releasing. "The response from fans for Terrifier 2 was overwhelming
and we are excited to give them more of everything that they have
come to expect from the Terrifier theatrical experience."
Terrifier 3 was named by USA Today as one of the Top 10 most
anticipated Horror films of 2024. Following the theatrical run,
Cineverse plans to release the film across all platforms, including
its SCREAMBOX horror streaming service. Terrifier is also
bleeding into other areas, including Halloween t-shirts, podcasts
and novelizations.
