Eli Roth’s ‘The Green Inferno’ Hits US Theaters In September

By Russ Fischer/June 1, 2015 4:30 pm EST

September 25 is the new US date for the film.

The BH Tilt plan is an initiative that represents a partnership between a number of different companies: Blumhouse, Universal Pictures, and High Top Releasing, which the press release calls “a label dedicated to servicing high quality movies using Focus Features’ distribution capabilities.”

In a press release, Jason Blum said,

The film was originally going to be released in September of last year. When problems with the company that financed the film, Worldview Entertainment, caused the movie to be taken off Open Road’s 2014 schedule, we didn’t know how the release would work out. This is a better outcome for all involved than we expected.

When we launched BH Tilt we said our goal was to be part of the continuing evolution of distribution, whether it is through changing marketing strategies, changing revenue sources or changing windows. We are excited to capitalize on new developments in distribution and marketing to bring Eli’s movie to horror lovers across the country.

There is a trailer for the film, but when that 2014 release date was killed off, that trailer became obsolete. You can see it here for the time being, and we’ll run whatever new one Blumhouse comes up with.

Here’s an announcement of the deal originally published to Facebook:
