Originally, The Big Short was supposed to be out next year.
According to The Wrap, "The Ring" would have opposed Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's "By the Sea", Warner Bros "The 33" and "Love the Coopers" in its original date. Moreover, the movie might have faced-off against "Friday the 13th" which was moved from November 13 to May 13, 2016 and "Paranormal Activity: Ghost Dimension" from March to October 23, 2015 if they did not push back.
Under the direction of the Spanish filmmaker F. Javier Gutiérrez (Before the Fall), "The Ring" stars Johnny Galecki (The Big Bang Theory), Matilda Lutz and Alex Roe. Collider revealed that the sequel movie has had waited for 13 long years since the first installment.
In 2002, "The Ring" was remade from the Japanese horror film titled "Ring" which was based on the original "Ring" novel written by Kôji Suzuki. Then the first sequel followed in 2005. The first American remake film in the movie series has earned a total of $129 million nationwide.
