When Sony Screen Gems set Deliver Us From Evil for a July release, they were hoping to capture the same success as The Conjuring the year prior. It was then shifted to early July, putting it up against some serious tentpole blockbusters. The results were rough.

The aforementioned The Conjuring opened on July 19, 2013, and now FOX is locking in a similar date with hopes that their remake/sequel of Steven Spielberg’s Poltergeist will become the next big summer haunt.

Gil Keenan directs the new Poltergeist that will now open in theaters on July 24, 2015.

To be released in 3-D, Jared Harris will play Carrigan, a larger than life TV personality who left the world of academia behind to become the star host of basic cable TV show “Haunted House Cleaners.”

Sam Rockwell, Rosemarie DeWitt, Saxon Sharbino and Jane Adams also star.

Legendary filmmaker Sam Raimi (producer) reimagines and contemporizes the classic tale about a family whose suburban home is invaded by angry spirits. When the terrifying apparitions escalate their attacks and take the youngest daughter, the family must come together to rescue her.
