Halloween Kills is the latest movie adopting a streaming release amid the coronavirus pandemic, as it will head to Peacock the same day as theaters. Before the pandemic began, it would’ve been unthinkable to send a major movie to streaming instead of granting it an exclusive theatrical run. Now, times have changed, and the practice has become far more common. Though recent weeks have seen encouraging signs of life at the box office through movies like Free Guy and Shang-Chi, there’s still concern in how major releases will fare.

Halloween Kills is the eagerly anticipated follow-up to 2018’s Halloween, which was in turn a sort of reboot for the iconic slasher franchise. Directed by David Gordon Green, the new installment will pick up almost immediately following the 2018 movie and see practically indestructible killer Michael Myers continue his rampage across Haddonfield. Jamie Lee Curtis returns once more for Halloween Kills, which also stars Judy Greer, Andi Matichak, Kyle Richards, Will Patton, and Anthony Michael Hall. It was originally supposed to premiere last year before the pandemic delayed it to 2021.

On Thursday, Halloween Kills made the announcement it will be available on Peacock the same day as theaters. The movie is still set to arrive on October 15, and it won’t require an extra fee for Peacock subscribers. It follows in the footsteps of this summer’s The Boss Baby: Family Business, which similarly employed a day and date Peacock release.

The news of Halloween Kills’ new release plan comes after the movie made its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival. The early critical reviews for Halloween Kills are mixed, with many indicating that while it ups the gore factor, it doesn’t do anything new. Nevertheless, there’s a lot of interest in seeing where it will take the franchise, particularly since the 2018 reboot breathed new life into the property. There’s one more movie on the way, Halloween Ends, and it will arrive next year.

By putting Halloween Kills on Peacock, Universal is ensuring it can reach a wider audience. While this might impact the movie’s overall box office, it has become increasingly clear that streaming releases benefit those who might not have easy access to a movie theater. Halloween Kills’ debut coming right before the titular holiday positions the movie to be the ultimate bit of entertainment for the spooky season, and now even those who don’t want to visit a theater can watch Michael Myers terrorize his unsuspecting victims. This is only the second movie to get a Peacock debut like this, but should it prove to be a success, don’t be surprised if more arrive in the future.
