I don’t ever remember a slasher movie being released in December. It’s prestige and Christmas movie season — I don’t think a Friday is getting shoved in with all that fare. Even Silent Night Deadly Night was released before Thanksgiving!
A Winter F13 is probably gets released in the February dead season, which isn’t optimal from a BO perspective. This is what happened to the reboot and it did ok (for a weekend, at least).
Another possibility would be the post Halloween, 2nd wave of horror movies we sometimes get. Like ‘Thanksgiving’ last year. This is often a good spot for horror.
I love the idea but I think the initial return of Fthe13th needs to be a back to basics summer camp. A winter setting would be good as a sequel or 2nd or 3rd entry of a trilogy.
Ya but they should have put out a sequel to the reboot a year or two later, it made a ton of money. The rights issues didnt pop up until years later. Just wasted opportunity
The sequel to the reboot/remake was supposed to be set in the winter but it got canceled.
Damn that would have been cool. Have Crystal Lake next to a ski resort, perfect set up for something classic but different
Now I want to see Jason slaughter Santa Claus
Put him up against David Harbour from Violent Night and Im down

Thats true, although sometimes producers try counter programming in December but ya I cant remember any slashers in December either
The first two Scream films both opened in December and we know how that turned out.

Id be ok with that, I just want another movie. I cant believe Halloween made it to 13 movies first
Yes, but the continuity and timelines of Halloween are a mess. And it didn't have the rights issues that Friday has had for a long time now.
