‘Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey’ Returning to Theaters This Weekend [Exclusive]

After scaring up $4 million at the worldwide box office, viral hit Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey is returning to movie theaters, Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report today.

Following the success of the one-night-only screening of Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey last month, ITN Studios will re-release the highly publicized horror movie in theaters here in the United States for a week-long run starting Friday, March 17. This nationwide roll out will give horror fans one last chance to see the movie on the big screen.

Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey successfully grossed $760,954 at its one-night-only screening on February 15, before expanding to theaters nationwide and grossing $2 million at the U.S. box office. Horror fans hoping to catch Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey in theaters for the film’s final run should check their local showtimes on Fandango.com.

In addition to the new theatrical dates, ITN Studios inked a merchandising deal with Hot Topic to sell Blood and Honey branded shirts in stores nationwide. Two versions are now available for sale, one t-shirt featuring the film’s poster and the other featuring Pooh’s bloodthirsty face. Fans can now buy the tees online or in-store for $23.90. Sizes run from XS to 3X.

You can preview the two t-shirts below.

Rhys Frake-Waterfield directed the bloody horror movie for Jagged Edge Productions, a twisted take on the classic children’s tale. And yes, a sequel is already on the way.

In this version of the classic story, Christopher Robin is headed off to college and he has abandoned his old friends, which then leads to the duo embracing their inner monsters.

“The days of adventures and merriment have come to an end, as Christopher Robin, now a young man, has left Winnie-The-Pooh and Piglet to fend for themselves. As time passes, feeling angry and abandoned, the two become feral.

“After getting a taste for blood, Winnie-The-Pooh and Piglet set off to find a new source of food. It’s not long before their bloody rampage begins.”

Amber Doig-Thorne, Maria Taylor, and Danielle Scott star in the horror movie, which is possible thanks to the original story slipping into the public domain. What a time to be alive!
