In regards to FNaF at this year’s event, the film is reportedly slated to finish principal photography in April 2023. TECHNICALLY it could release in October ‘23 or even September ‘23 but that turnaround time would be insane. I think it’s safe to say we probably won’t see the bear at HHN 32
I thought the same honestly. When a company is in cost-cutting mode, they'll make money anyway possible. And I imagine there aren't any costs associated with your IP being featured at HHN.I would actually argue we're in a position where WB properties may be more gettable than they were. The company is looking to generate cash wherever they can, so if they can license out a horror IP for some $$ (plus bring what is essentially free advertising to the property), they'll probably do it. The exception there is likely (and unfortunately) The Conjuring franchise due to the ongoing legal disputes.
Knowing what I know about Insidious V, I think it'd be tough for it to become a maze on its own. Could maybe work as a component of another Horrors of Blumhouse.
EDIT: Another important factor re: Insidious - Insidious 4, which appeared on both coasts, was distributed by Universal. Insidious V is a Sony release, so while still presumably gettable, the same synergy opportunity (and ease of access) does not exist.
One solution they could consider is to offer to create a Blumhouse compilation house based off of the two Sony Blumhouse releases next year, Insidious 5 and They Listen, while giving M3GAN and Exorcist their own houses. It lets Uni preserve the full-house and marketing spotlight for *their* Blumhouse movies, it makes Blum happy by giving him three houses, and it probably convinces Sony to give them a buzzy property for cheap since they can convincingly argue it's free advertisement for their horror slate (this is probably more likely to happen at Hollywood due to their IP focus, admittedly).Knowing what I know about Insidious V, I think it'd be tough for it to become a maze on its own.

As mentioned previously - The Lost Boys could be a good fit for this. A nearly dead IP that isn't making them any money could be flipped to make money.
For sure! And If they did happen to get Lost Boys, it could also help WB get some eyes on the upcoming remake/reboot (I'm pretty sure it's a remake but not 100%).I think the chaos at WB can be an exciting opportunity but on the flipside, we saw this year how it can mess up plans. It's hard to do, say, Salem's Lot when the company constantly shifts it on and off its slate. Could be a great opportunity to bring on some older titles though, like as you say Lost Boys or IT.
I figured the Mummy extended queue would be used as an Epic Universe preview center.There’s rumor floating around about the Tribute Store moving down to the Hollywood area that will be a little bigger than It’s current location. If true, will they use the Mummy space as queues and exits for the houses or they’re gonna restore it back to the way It was?
The only downside I see Is even if It’s about to be relocated, It’ll still be crowded with a bottleneck the other way around.
It’s going back as Mummy Extended Queue.
There is a hint in the current Tribute Store...and so I'd say pretty highHow much weight is there behind the Tribute Store moving rumor? I’m curious what location there it would be in and how it will effect crowd flow.
Mind if I ask what the hint was?There is a hint in the current Tribute Store...and so I'd say pretty high
