NEWS: "DEATH HOUSE" Delayed Until March 2
Screen Pressure from the Success of "Black Panther" Mandates One-week Theatrical Release Delay for Death House from Hannover House
Record-breaking Success of the New Disney Marvel Film Creates Pressure for Hold-over Screens at Multiplexes; Independent film distributors scramble for available dates and locations
LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 20, 2018 / The record-breaking success of Disney / Marvel's "BLACK PANTHER" this past weekend has spiked the box office and auditoriums of multiplexes across the nation. But the demand for hold-over screens for the next few weeks has put a crunch on smaller, specialty releases. "DEATH HOUSE," the highly anticipated thriller described as "the Expendables of Horror Films" by many horror-industry publications, is one of the releases left scrambling in the wake of last weekend's box office success. The horror release from Hannover House, Inc. (OTC PINK: HHSE), was slated for a key market launch this Friday, but has now rescheduled its plans for a roll-out over three weeks starting March 2.
"Obviously, we are very disappointed to find such pressure from the exhibitors to hold-over multiple screens for 'Black Panther," said Eric Pakrinson, C.E.O. of Hannover House. "But we are happy for the success that this film is providing to theatre owners, and we know that the slight delay we are implementing for 'Death House' will ultimately pay big dividends for the film," he concluded.
"DEATH HOUSE" will now launch on Friday, March 2 with a special media event and public opening at the Regency Plant 16 in Van Nuys, California. The Friday night showing will feature nearly twenty cast members, along with principal crew and horror-industry media. Producer Rick Finkelstein will speak briefly before the first screening, and will dedicate the film's launch to the memory of writer/actor Gunnar Hansen ("Texas Chainsaw Massacre"
who passed away in November 2015 shortly after completing the first draft screenplay for "DEATH HOUSE." The film will also open on March 2 at the Stroud Mall in Stroudsburg, PA, which will feature a Sunday evening special event and presentation by director B. Harrison Smith.
Hannover House plans to expand the release of "DEATH HOUSE" to approximately 20 additional markets on March 9 and March 16, with further playdates to be based on audience response and box office performance. The home video and digital release are anticipated for July.
