Universal backs out of March 21st release date
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Universal Pictures has scrapped plans to release "Stretch" theatrically. Evidently Universal decided that "the expense of releasing (the) movie theatrically might not be justified by the returns." Since the film had a whopping $5 million dollar budget, they are afraid that they will lose money if they show it in theaters. When you consider that Blumhouse Productions films are box office flops and nobody famous is in "Stretch", I imagine this is a wise decision because they would never recoup their costs.
