Exorcist Sequel Pushes Up Release Date To Avoid Competing With Taylor Swift Concert Film

Earlier today, it was announced that Taylor Swift’s still-ongoing Eras Tour would be getting a wide release as a concert film in movie theaters around the country. It’ll head to theaters on October 13, Swift’s lucky number. Now, Universal and Blumhouse’s The Exorcist: Believer sequel is moving its premiere date up to October 6 (from the 13th) — because who really wants to go up against Taylor Swift? Not Jason Blum.
