While we endeavour to include SDH where possible, the costs involved in creating and authoring are calculated on a per-minute basis and unfortunately we are often faced with such prohibitive costs to include SDH that it can limit our capacity to release the product at all. It is Universal's policy to add English subtitles to 100% of our new feature film (non-TV) DVD product. The trailer had around 2 million views in its first day on YouTube. With the star appeal, seasonal story and production team behind the film it would have been weird if it didn’t get a cinematic release over here in Britain. It makes sense for it to be the same date as in the States, so thankfully we don’t have to wait until later in December, or worse still some streaming date in February to catch the ridiculously over-the-top action.

Violent Night is a 2022 American Christmas action comedy film directed by Tommy Wirkola and written by Pat Casey and Josh Miller. It follows Santa Claus (portrayed by David Harbour) as he fights mercenaries who have taken a wealthy family hostage in their home. [6] The film also stars John Leguizamo, Alex Hassell, and Beverly D'Angelo. Set on Christmas Eve, it follows a well-off family preparing to celebrate the holiday season. However, their celebrations are cut short when a team of mercenaries storms into their property and holds everyone hostage, demanding millions of dollars from the family in exchange for their life and freedom. Meanwhile, Santa crawls out of the family’s chimney to take treats and give away presents. The process of dating a film for release is based on a number of factors including cinema availability, talent access and competitor releases to name a few. Universal UK always endeavours to find a date that will give the film the best chance of succeeding whilst giving UK audiences the opportunity to see the film as early as possible.

Universal also produces, acquires, and distributes direct-to-DVD titles, classic titles from the Universal library, consumer products (across all traditional categories, as well as interactive and wireless platforms ), and specialty motion pictures under Focus Features. Through its international production group, the studio partners with leading international film companies to make and acquire films for wide commercial release or distribution in specific countries. Universal's content is released across traditional and digital distribution channels, including theatrical exhibition, physical and electronic home entertainment, pay and free television, and subscription on-demand services. It’s got more than a few classic action hero-style one-liners that are reminiscent of more than a few Arnold Schwarzenegger movies. This is also a very different interpretation of Father Christmas than anything we’ve seen before. The tagline, “you better watch out” has a whole new meaning. In a mid-credits scene, Bert vlogs next to a dead mercenary, telling his viewers that Santa is real and warning them to behave during Christmas.

As part of the deal, Netflix will also license rights to the full Animated and Live Action slate from UFEG about 4 years after release as well as rights to select titles from Universal’s vast movie library.” Violent Night had its premier at the New York City ComicCon, which had the screening down with a runtime of 2 hours and 15 minutes.

Of course, Netflix does have its collection of new (and old) Christmas movies for you to enjoy. Some new 2022 Netflix Christmas movies include Scrooge: A Christmas Carol, The Noel Diary, and I Believe in Santa. In Greenwich, Connecticut, Jason Lightstone and his estranged wife Linda take their daughter Trudy to his mother Gertrude's mansion for a Christmas gathering. They overhear Trudy's wish for family unity through an old walkie-talkie. Other family members at the gathering are Jason's sister Alva, her boyfriend Morgan Steel, and her son Bert. Meanwhile, Santa Claus arrives at the estate, just as a group of mercenaries, led by "Mr. Scrooge," raid the house with some of them having posed as caterers and take the family hostage after killing the staff. Initially, cinema listings didn’t include an official Violent Night UK release date, but that changed recently. The trailer came out a while ago now confirming the North America release to be the 2nd December 2022, which is pretty perfect considering the story. The good news is that it went on to be confirmed for the same date in the UK too. a b " Violent Night (2022)". The Numbers. Nash Information Services, LLC . Retrieved April 5, 2023.
