Horror Thriller ‘Until Dawn' Arrives On Digital Streaming This Week
Ella Rubin in "Until Dawn." Until Dawn, a horror thriller based on the hit Sony Interactive Entertainment video game, is coming soon to digital streaming. Rated R, Until Dawn opened in theaters on April 25. The official summary for the film reads, 'One year after her sister Melanie mysteriously disappeared, Clover (Ella Rubin) and her friends head into the remote valley where she vanished in search of answers. Exploring an abandoned visitor center, they find themselves stalked by a masked killer and horrifically murdered one by one … only to wake up and find themselves back at the beginning of the same evening. 'Trapped in the valley, they're forced to relive the night again and again — only each time the killer threat is different, each more terrifying than the last. Hope dwindling, the group soon realizes they have a limited number of deaths left, and the only way to escape is to survive until dawn.' Directed by David F. Sandberg (Annabelle: Creation), Until Dawn also stars Michael Cimino, Odessa A'zion, Ji-young Yoo, Belmont Cameli, Maia Mitchell and Peter Stormare. Rated R, Until Dawn will debut on digital streaming via premium video on demand on Friday, May 23, a Prime Video listing confirms. The film will also be available to purchase or rent on a variety of digital platforms including Apple TV, Fandango at Home and YouTube. Currently, Until Dawn is listed for pre-order on Prime Video for $24.99. Since digital rentals are typically $5 less than purchase prices on PVOD, viewers can expect to rent Until Dawn for $19.99 for 48 hours. Until Dawn earned $19.9 million from domestic ticket sales and $30 million internationally for a worldwide box office tally of $49.9 million against a $15 million budget before prints and advertising, per The Numbers. Until Dawn was given a 53% 'rotten' rating from Rotten Tomatoes critics based on 102 reviews. The RT Critics Consensus for the film reads, 'Until Dawn has a novel premise by rewinding the clock repeatedly to deliver multiple horror movies in one, but a lack of inspiration in each new variation yields a spoil of diminishing returns rather than riches.' In addition, the film received a 68% 'fresh' score on RT's Popcornmeter based on 1,000-plus verified user ratings. Until Dawn arrives on PVOD on Friday.

The blockbuster is 50, and ‘chicken jockey' is what we have to show for it
What ever happened to watching a movie? The question has become more than rhetorical in recent weeks. In mid-April, as 'A Minecraft Movie' was becoming a box office juggernaut, theaters were reporting a trend that involved young filmgoers throwing food, doing backflips and standing on their heads when the film's star, Jack Black, said the phrase 'chicken jockey.' The pranks occasionally led to genuinely disturbing incidents, like fights between patrons and destruction of property. Then Sony raised the participatory stakes with special screenings of its horror remake 'Until Dawn,' where audiences competed to see who could watch it on repeat the longest, without falling asleep, taking a bathroom break or using their phones.
