Blumhouse walked an untitled horror film directed by Stephen Susco into Austin, Texas tonight with a logline reading, “A 20-something finds a cache of hidden files on his new laptop and is thrust into the deep waters of the dark web.

Producer Jason Blum revealed the title before the crowd during the pic’s introduction at the Alamo Ritz tonight. Unfriended was a microbudget wonder for Blumhouse made for pennies at $1M and reaping a global B.O. of $64M, 51% of which was generated stateside. That pic centered around a group of online chat room friends who find themselves haunted by a … [Read more...] about Blumhouse Reveals Untitled Movie At SXSW Is ‘Unfriended: Dark Web’

4th Update with Sunday AM Analysis: This weekend The Rock is getting squashed by a horde of bloodsucking vampires, as Sony Animation’s Hotel Transylvania 3 : Summer Vacation is the prime destination for families, with a studio-reported $44.1. That knocks down Dwayne Johnson ’s Skyscraper to third place, with a Universal-reported $25.4M , a low result for the action star in his recent solo PG-13 credits.
