In a surprising move, the producers of the upcoming horror film “The Exorcist: Believer” have announced that they will be releasing the movie a week earlier than scheduled. The decision was made to avoid competing with Taylor Swift’s highly anticipated “Eras” Tour film. Originally set to drop nationwide on October 13th, horror mega-producer Jason Blum decided to move up the release date to October 6th to prevent any potential clash with Swift’s project. Blum playfully referenced one of Swift’s hits, tweeting, “Look what you made me do. The Exorcist: Believer moves to 10/6/23.” The Post has reached out to both Blum and Swift for further comment on the matter.
Swift herself has managed to create quite a buzz as well. She recently surprised fans by announcing that her “Eras” Tour film will be hitting theaters on October 13th. Swift, who had faced some challenges at the start of her tour due to a Ticketmaster debacle, is projected to rake in an astonishing $1 billion in ticket sales. With her announcement, Swift managed to capture the attention of moviegoers as well. She took to X to express her excitement, stating, “The Eras Tour has been the most meaningful, electric experience of my life so far and I’m overjoyed to tell you that it’ll be coming to the big screen soon.” Swift encouraged her fans to fully embrace the experience, encouraging them to wear “Eras attire, friendship bracelets, and engage in singing and dancing” while watching the film. According to the film announcement, the 2-hour and 45-minute film will be screened four times a day, on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, at every AMC location in the US.
“The Exorcist: Believer” was also originally slated to be released on October 13th, marking 50 years since the release of the iconic 1973 film. The combination of “Eras” and “The Exorcist” has led some online fans to refer to it as #Exorswift, drawing parallels to the earlier trend of #Barbenheimer, which featured the double feature of “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” films. However, not everyone on X shares the enthusiasm for this pairing. Some expressed their lack of interest, with one fan sarcastically remarking, “I can’t wait to miss it.” Another fan criticized “Exorcist” filmmaker David Gordon Green, stating, “Doesn’t matter, not gonna sit through another DGG disaster class whenever it’s released.”
In terms of casting, “The Exorcist: Believer” stars Broadway’s Leslie Odom Jr. and Ellen Burstyn, who appeared in the original 1973 film. The new film is set 50 years after the events of the original. Meanwhile, Swift’s “Eras” Tour is expected to become the highest-grossing tour ever, with projected ticket sales of $1 billion. While the US leg of the tour concluded in August, Swift is set to continue touring in Argentina in November. Fans in the US can look forward to her return in October 2024.
