Lionsgate is shaking up its release slate, with two genre releases affected. While The Crow reboot gets a small delay, don’t expect sequel Saw XI to arrive this Halloween season.

Rupert Sanders’ The Crow is shifting from its June release date and is now set for August 23, 2024, Deadline reports.

Bill Skarsgård leads the cast of The Crow as Eric Draven, with FKA Twigs co-starring. Danny Huston (30 Days of Night) also stars, alongside Laura Birn (Foundation), Sami Bouajila (A Son), and Jordan Bolger (The Woman King).

In the new movie, “Soulmates Eric Draven (Skarsgård) and Shelly Webster (FKA Twigs) are brutally murdered when the demons of her dark past catch up with them. Given the chance to save his true love by sacrificing himself, Eric sets out to seek merciless revenge on their killers, traversing the worlds of the living and the dead to put the wrong things right.”

As for Saw XI, the anticipated sequel is getting pushed back a full year. Look for Jigsaw’s deadly games to resume instead on September 26, 2025.

Saw X director Kevin Greutert will return to direct the upcoming Saw XI! In addition to Saw X, Greutert directed both Saw VI in 2009 and later Saw: The Final Chapter in 2010, along with the horror movies Jessabelle in 2014 and Jackals more recently in 2017. He also edited Saw I through V and Jigsaw.

As we learned late last year, Saw X writers Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger will not be back to write the screenplay for Saw XI.

The release date shift makes sense for Saw XI, as the project is still in development.

Saw X, meanwhile, is now available on VOD outlets as well as 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD. The franchise’s tenth film ended its worldwide box office run with an impressive $111.8 million.

Stay tuned for further news on both genre films as they arrive.
