Taylor Swift has once again shown her incredible influence as it was reported that she scared the producer of the ‘Exorcist’ sequel, Jason Blum, into moving the release date of his upcoming horror film, ‘The Exorcist Believer’. This unexpected turn of events came after Taylor Swift announced that her concert film would be released on October 13th.
Jason Blum, a seasoned film producer known for his successful projects such as ‘Insidious’ and ‘Get Out’, admitted that he had to reconsider his film’s release strategy due to the pop superstar’s announcement. Blumhouse, the production company founded by Blum, is well-known for its horror films that often generate significant buzz and box office success.
While Blum is accustomed to dealing with demons on the big screen, he acknowledged that taking on Taylor Swift might be a challenge he isn’t prepared to face. The decision to change the release date was ultimately made to avoid a clash with Swift’s highly anticipated concert film.
The ‘Exorcist’ franchise, which has the reputation of being one of the most iconic horror series in cinema history, has been a staple in the genre since the release of the original film in 1973. ‘The Exorcist Believer’, a sequel in the long-running series, was eagerly awaited by horror fans.
Taylor Swift, on the other hand, is not a stranger to making waves in the entertainment industry. The singer-songwriter has consistently proven her influence, not only in music but also in various other areas. Known for her loyal fan base, dubbed as Swifties, she has the power to sway decisions and create a significant impact.
Blum’s decision to move the release date of ‘The Exorcist Believer’ underscores Taylor Swift’s immense popularity and the influence she holds, even beyond the realm of music. It also highlights the challenges experienced by film producers in navigating release dates amidst competition from other high-profile projects.
It remains to be seen whether this unexpected clash will have any long-term effects on the success of either film. Nonetheless, Taylor Swift’s ability to make headlines and influence decisions once again proves her status as a formidable force in the entertainment industry.
