‘Salem’s Lot’ Officially Skipping Movie Theaters to Stream on Max in 2024


'Salem's Lot,' an adaptation of Stephen King's vampire novel, will premiere on Max in 2024.

Since David Zaslav took over as CEO of the media conglomerate after AT&T spun-off WarnerMedia and merged it with Discovery, the company has mostly resisted debuting films straight-to-streaming, arguing that releasing them in cinemas raises their profile and adds revenues. Gary Dauberman (“Annabelle”) writes, directs, and executive produces with James Wan and Michael Clear for Atomic Monster and Roy Lee for Vertigo alongside Mark Wolper. In the new version, Lewis Pullman stars as Ben Mears, leading an ensemble that includes Alfre Woodard, Makenzie Leigh, Bill Camp, Spencer Treat Clark, Pilou Asbæk and John Benjamin Hickey.
