Salem's Lot continues a sad Stephen King trend.
Although Salem’s Lot looks exciting, the upcoming Stephen King remake has already fallen victim to a curse that plagues the writer’s recent adaptations. Salem’s Lot is one of Stephen King’s most acclaimed novels. Originally released in 1975, the book follows a writer who discovers a dark secret upon returning to his titular hometown. Salem’s Lot was adapted as a successful miniseries in 1978.
5 Salem’s Lot is directed by Annabelle Comes Home director Gary Dauberman, who also penned 2017 and 2019’s two-part King adaptation It and It Chapter Two. While that series made over a billion dollars at the box office, Salem’s Lot arrived a little too late to ride on the franchise’s wave of success. Although Dauberman also worked on the successful Annabelle sequels and The Nun movies, the release date of 2024’s Salem’s Lot remake was pushed back repeatedly.
2023’s The Boogeyman fared a little better with its modest payday, earning $82 million at the box office on a budget of $35 million. However, although Pet Sematary: Bloodlines’ success should be a relief for the creators of Salem’s Lot, the remake's straight-to-streaming release doesn’t bode well for its critical prospects. While 2017’s It was a hit with viewers and critics alike, its 2019 sequel It Chapter Two earned more mixed reviews.
