Taylor Swift's Influence Causes Chaos for 'Exorcist' Sequel and AMC Theatres

Universal Pictures has moved up the release date of "The Exorcist: Believer" by one week to avoid competition with Taylor Swift's newly announced Eras Tour concert film, which will hit theaters on the original release date. The move came after Swift's global stardom threatened the box office prospects of the horror sequel. Anticipation for the Eras Tour movie is high, with Swifties causing delays on AMC Theatres' app when tickets went on sale. The Exorcist: Believer will now face opening weekend competition from Sony's "Dumb Money" and Martin Scorsese's "Killers of the Flower Moon."

Zendaya's "Challengers" Withdrawn from Venice Film Festival Amid Strike

The highly anticipated tennis drama Challengers, directed by Luca Guadagnino and starring Zendaya and Josh O'Connor, has been pulled from the Venice film festival due to the ongoing Hollywood actors' strike. The film's release date has also been changed from September to April next year. Instead, the festival will open with Edoardo De Angelis's Italian drama Comandante. The strike prohibits actors from promoting their films, impacting the fall festival circuit and potentially delaying other major releases, including Warner Bros' Dune 2. The strike is based on concerns over residual pay and the threat of artificial intelligence.

Zendaya's 'Challengers' Delayed to 2024, Misses Venice Film Festival Amid Actors Strike

The release of the Zendaya-starring film "Challengers" has been moved from September 2023 to April 2024 due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike. The movie, directed by Luca Guadagnino, was originally set to premiere at the Venice Film Festival but will now debut in spring 2024. The film's release date change was made to avoid competition with other major releases and to capitalize on Zendaya's large social media following. Disney and other studios have also made adjustments to their release schedules in anticipation of the strikes.
