We didn’t Expect this: Why did ‘Wolf Man’ Switch to a Digital Release so Quickly?

Stills from the movie 'Wolf Man' (2024)

The film didn’t live up to expectations.

Wolf Man by Leigh Whannell will soon get a digital release. The reason Universal bosses decided to shift to a digital platform after a brief theatrical run lies in one factor.

Per Movieweb Leigh Whannell's Wolf Man reboot, released on January 17, received mostly mixed reviews. Its box office performance was underwhelming, earning only $29.8 million against a $25 million production budget. This likely prompted Universal executives to fast-track the film’s digital release, earlier than initially expected.

Wolf Man is an American horror film directed by Leigh Whannell, who co-wrote the screenplay with Corbett Tuck. This film serves as a reboot of the iconic Wolf Man franchise, offering a fresh, modern take on the classic werewolf story. The film stars Christopher Abbott, Julia Garner, and Sam Jaeger, with Abbott playing the lead role of a family man caught in an increasingly desperate situation.
