Written and directed by Brett Pierce and Drew T. Pierce, \u201cThe Wretched\u201d follows a young boy who discovers an evil witch in the nearby woods. The cast include John-Paul Howard, Piper Curda, Zarah Mahler, Azie Tesfai and Jamison Jones.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA horror movie, a big screen, the communal experience; these are three things that go perfectly together and movie fans have found a friend in IFC, a company that has been committed to the theatrical exhibition model in the age of COVID-19 by delivering \u2018The Wretched\u2019 to patrons hungry for outside of the home entertainment despite having a scary number of options at home for filmed content,\u201d said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst with Comscore.<\/p>\n<p>There are 179 brick-and-mortar theaters now open in states where governments are easing social-distancing rules, including Arkansas, Georgia, Oklahoma, South Dakota and Texas.\u00a0Many studios have opted to either delay releasing major titles or open them on digital platforms, such as Warner Bros.\u2019 \u201cScoob,\u201d which launched May 15.<\/p>\n\n<p>Paramount announced this weekend that it has acquired the drama-comedy \u201cMighty Oak\u201d for a theatrical release on June 5 at North American movie theaters and drive-ins. Solstice Studios will also open Russell Crowe thriller \u201cUnhinged\u201d on July 1 with plans to launch on a nationwide basis. Fathom Events and Screen Media have unveiled plans to open war thriller \u201cThe Outpost\u201d at 500 locations on July 2.<\/p>\n<p>Most theaters are not expected to open until mid-summer, and no other major releases are set to launch, except for Christopher Nolan\u2019s \u201cTenet\u201d on July 17. However, with shelter-in-place guidelines possibly still effective, it\u2019s unclear whether \u201cTenet\u201d will be able to maintain that date.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IFC\u2019s horror movie \u201cThe Wretched\u201d is leading the small weekend box office with an estimated $186,000 at 59 movie theaters.
