Jason Blum swears: It'll be out by next October (2018). "You can chop off my hand!"

Also, rumor has it that the film will actually be released on Halloween, rather than October 19.

I'm not convinced; it would give you only one day to take advantage of the holiday. The next day it's November 1 and no one cares anymore. October 19 gives two about 2 1/2 weeks to make bank. Commercially, it makes no sense. Friday the 13th can do that, but that's not necessarily a holiday.
