Nearly two months since its successful theatrical debut, the Evil Dead Rise Max release date has been revealed for the streaming debut of New Line Cinema’s latest installment to the long-running horror franchise. The supernatural thriller will be available for streaming on June 23, exclusively on Max.
Since its theatrical release in April, Evil Dead Rise has received critical and commercial success, with worldwide gross of over $140 million at the box office against a reported budget of around $15-19 million. The fifth installment has now become the highest-grossing film of the entire franchise.
What is Evil Dead Rise about?
“Moving the action out of the woods and into the city, Evil Dead Rise tells a twisted tale of two estranged sisters whose reunion is cut short by the rise of flesh-possessing demons, thrusting them into a primal battle for survival as they face the most nightmarish version of family imaginable,” reads the film’s synopsis.
Evil Dead Rise stars Alyssa Sutherland (Vikings) and Lily Sullivan (Picnic at Hanging Rock), along with Gabrielle Echols (Reminiscence), Morgan Davies (The Girlfriend Experience), and Nell Fisher (Northspur). The film is written and directed by Lee Cronin (The Hole In The Ground), who was handpicked by franchise creators Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell and Robert Tapert. It is executive produced by Raimi, Campbell, Tapert, Romel Adam, John Keville, and Macdara Kelleher.
