Summary

Hellboy: The Crooked Man's director, Brian Taylor, has seemingly revealed the film's release month.
The rebuilt is set for a tentative release in September.
Hellboy: The Crooked Man will be released during a competitive fall.

The release month for Hellboy in 2019, which was a critical and commercial failure.

Speaking with Collider at SDCC, Taylor seems to reveal the release month for Hellboy: The Crooked Man. The interview included Rudolph, who is an actor in the film, alongside director Taylor. While the former was a little more vague by indicating it would release in fall, Taylor revealed which month the reboot is set to release, which is surprisingly soon. See what Taylor shared below:

September, I think. I don't have an exact date.

Prior to this news, the film's latest updates included a trailer for Hellboy: The Crooked Man, which revealed the first look at Kesy as the lead character. The trailer also revealed the tone for the adaptation, which would bring audiences to the woods to explore the tale of a 1950s Appalachian community afflicted by the actions of a series of witches who are led by the Crooked Man. The trailer release did not come with an announcement of a release date for Hellboy: The Crooked Man, leaving the timeline for the project up in the air.

If the release month that Taylor revealed is correct, audiences will not have to wait much longer to discover what horror awaits in Hellboy: The Crooked Man. In order to ensure the film's success, Hellboy will have to be very careful about when it releases in September, in order to avoid significant competition that would prohibit its growth. The fall is looking to be a busy time for film this year, with September alone including the releases of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, The Front Room, Wolfs, Transformers One, and The Substance.

Perhaps Hellboy: The Crooked Man's most significant fall competition will be found in the Hollywood remake of Speak No Evil. Like The Crooked Man, Speak No Evil also explores a tonally tense environment wherein evil lurks within a seemingly benign and bucolic landscape. Speak No Evil is slated for release on September 13, making that weekend one to avoid for Hellboy: The Crooked Man. So, while the news of Hellboy: The Crooked Man's prospective release month is exciting, the releases will not make for an easy road for the film at the box office.
