"Principal photography wrapped on the film in June 2015," Slashfilm writes. "It seems as if the studio was unhappy with the initial cut as reshoots took place in July of this year." There hasn't been a reason given for Rings' latest delay, but 9.1 million YouTube views for the trailer over a monthlong span is not at all shabby for a horror movie. The franchise is an adaptation of the 1998 Japanese film Ringu. Samara will return for Rings because she is so scary she couldn't possibly not.

The dip in quality between 2002's The Ring and '05's The Ring Two was precipitous, meaning it might be harder to raise interest this time around. Blair Witch exemplified that quandary last weekend, showing up 16 years after a brutally misfired sequel and kinda flopping with a $9.65 million opening.

While we're here, Paramount also delayed Friday the 13th from Jan. 13, 2017 to Oct. 13, 2017, presumably because a Friday the 13th in October is way better luck for Jason Voorhees than one in January.
