The survival horror video game Poppy Playtime gained immense popularity after its release in 2021. The franchise is going strong, as we witnessed the release of Chapter 3 of the game early this year. However, now it seems like the franchise will also be expanding into the film industry, as a live-action Poppy Playtime film is reportedly in the works. Let’s find out if there is a release date for the movie.
Here’s all the Poppy Playtime movie release date information we know so far, and all the details on when it is coming out.
Is there a Poppy Playtime Movie release date?
The Poppy Playtime movie does not have an official release date, but it will likely be announced soon.
Recently, Deadline confirmed that Legendary Films closed a deal with Mob Entertainment, the video game studio behind Poppy Playtime, to make a live-action movie based on the game. They will work with Mob Entertainment’s Don Murphy and Susan Montford’s Angry Films to develop and produce this film. However, there is no announcement about a tentative release date for the movie. While the movie is probably not even in pre-production yet, the producers will want to be as strategic as possible with its release.
While Mob Entertainment is probably currently working on Chapter 4 of the game, the filmmakers might want to plan the film’s release not too close to but also not too far from Chapter 4. This will ensure there is enough hype for the film at the time of release to achieve the targeted viewership numbers.
Where is the Poppy Playtime movie coming out?
The Poppy Playtime Movie could come out in theaters.
Poppy Playtime is a horror video game franchise, and the directors and producers will definitely want to keep the jump scare intensity high. For this purpose, it would be ideal for the filmmakers to release it in theaters in order to provide a good horror movie experience. However, the film will most probably come out on an OTT platform soon after its theatrical numbers die down.
