Wolf Man by Leigh Whannell will soon get a digital release. The reason Universal bosses decided to shift to a digital platform after a brief theatrical run lies in one factor.
Per Movieweb Leigh Whannell's Wolf Man reboot, released on January 17, received mostly mixed reviews. Its box office performance was underwhelming, earning only $29.8 million against a $25 million production budget. This likely prompted Universal executives to fast-track the film’s digital release, earlier than initially expected.
Wolf Man is an American horror film directed by Leigh Whannell, who co-wrote the screenplay with Corbett Tuck. This film serves as a reboot of the iconic Wolf Man franchise, offering a fresh, modern take on the classic werewolf story. The film stars Christopher Abbott, Julia Garner, and Sam Jaeger, with Abbott playing the lead role of a family man caught in an increasingly desperate situation.
The story centers on a seemingly ordinary man who is forced to confront an ancient and terrifying curse when a werewolf attacks his family. Determined to protect his wife and daughter, he must face the terrifying reality of his own slow and uncontrollable transformation into the very monster he is trying to destroy. As his humanity fades and the creature inside him grows stronger, he must race against time to find a cure before the transformation becomes permanent.
