Mike Flanagan’s ‘The Exorcist’ Movie Release Date Announced
Universal Pictures has announced the release date for Mike Flanagan’s upcoming film, a reimagining of the classic horror movie, The Exorcist. This new version is slated to hit theaters on March 12, 2027. Initially set for March 13, 2026, the film was undated last June, but maintains a prime spring break spot in the 2027 release calendar.
Key Details on The Exorcist
The reimagined film is being produced in collaboration with Blumhouse Productions, Atomic Monster, and Morgan Creek Entertainment. Notable producers for the project include:
- David Robinson (known for The Exorcist series and Dead Ringers)
- Jason Blum (recognized for Get Out and Black Phone)
- Mike Flanagan (famed for Netflix series such as Midnight Mass and The Haunting of Hill House)
Cast and Crew Insights
Scarlett Johansson leads the cast, alongside Jacobi Jupe from the film Hamnet. Flanagan’s approach is framed as an all-new story, distinct from the existing Exorcist franchise and the 2023 installment, The Exorcist: Believer.
The Exorcist: Believer achieved notable box office success, earning $65.5 million in North America and $136.2 million globally. The film was produced following NBCUniversal, Peacock, and Blumhouse’s acquisition of rights from Morgan Creek in 2021.
This bold reimagining highlights Flanagan’s commitment to the horror genre, building on his previous acclaimed works, which have resonated well with audiences and critics alike.
