The third sequel in the horror franchise “The Ring” is being pushed back from its Nov. 13 release date to an unspecified date in 2016, TheWrap has learned.
Titled “Rings,” it would’ve opened the same day as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt‘s drama “By The Sea.”
Paramount has already moved Adam McKay‘s adaptation of Michael Lewis‘ bestseller, “The Big Short” from early 2016 to Dec. 23. Two weeks ago, Paramount, Skydance and Bad Robot moved “Star Trek Beyond” back two weeks from July 8, 2016 to July 22, 2016.

“Rings” is directed by F. Javier Gutierrez and stars John Galecki, Matilda Lutz and Alex Roe. It was previously titled “The Ring 3D” and marks the franchise’s return to the big screen after 10 years. The first movie, starring Naomi Watts, Amber Tamblyn and Martin Henderson, was released in 2002 and grossed $129 million domestically.
