Of course, there is always the chance that some productions will get pulled from getting a theatrical release and move from the big screen to the small screen. Sadly, missing out on the silver screen is a real-life nightmare for any horror filmmaker.
Also, you’ll do well to keep in mind that movies get bumped all the time. Movies slated for a 2025 release could get moved to 2026. If these past years have taught us anything, it’s to expect the unexpected. Still, it’s better to get a later date than no theatrical release.
