Omicron is calling.
Universal has decided to push Scott Derickson’s “Black Phone” from its initial February 4th release date to a June 24th theatrical launch.
You can bet this won’t be the last rescheduling of the Spring movie schedule.
“Black Phone” had its world premiere at Fantastic Fest on September 25th where it garnered rave reviews. I was lucky enough to catch it not too long after its premiere, via link, and it is an excellent genre affair from Derrickson and actor Ethan Hawke. A summer movie audience for this movie isn’t a bad idea.
