Guillermo del Toro-Produced Mama Enters Crowded Month for Horror in 2013
Universal has announced Mama, from director Andy Muschietti, is set to hit theaters on January 18th, 2013. The inclusion of this film officially makes January a very, very busy month for horror.
2013 kicks off with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D on January 4th which is followed by Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters on the 11th. And on the 25th, we have James Wan's The Conjuring.
Will one of these titles move to make breathing room? Time will tell. The month already has two victims of a "release date push" - Paramount bumped H&G from early 2012 to 2013 and Lionsgate did the same for TCM3D, shoving it out of this fall and into January.
Genre fans will complain that January is a terrible month for horror, but not box office-wise. The Underworld films have turned a nice profit during this time and The Devil Inside was considered a hit during the normally quiet month. My Bloody Valentine 3D, The Unborn and Cloverfield all performed quite nicely as well during their January releases.
