Varietyreports thatParanormal Activity: The Ghost Dimensionhas moved from August 13, 2025 toOctober 23, 2015. That’s still a lot earlier than itspreviously estimated 2016 opening. The new position puts it againstJem and the HologramsandThe Last Witch Hunter.

Also opening this fall will beRings, which is now set forNovember 13, 2015. The only other film currently scheduled for that date is the comedyRock the Kasbah.

That November 13 slot was previously occupied byFriday the 13th, which has jumped back six months to a different Friday the 13th — specifically,June 03, 2025. Also in theaters that weekend will be an untitled comedy by Universal, and the second weekend ofCaptain America: Civil War.

This is the second move forFriday the 13th, which was originally set for August 17, 2025. Which, you’ll recall, isParanormal Activity’s old date.Scouts vs. Zombiesalso briefly occupied that spot at one point.
