Two of horror and fantasy's most anticipated film franchises have been slated to premiere on the same day. The remake of "Friday the 13th" and the first incarnation of Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" have been slated for release on Jan. 13, 2017.

According to an article on Deadline, "Friday the 13th" has been pushed back not once, but three times since it has been made. It was originally planned for a premiere of March earlier this year, but got bumped two more times before this recent announcement.

JoBlo reports that the three original premiere dates were March 13, 2015, then Nov. 16. It was later pushed back to May 13, 2016 before getting its fourth (and presumably final) premiere date of Jan. 13, 2017.

There has been a whirlwind of theories for the movie, which includes the idea that it was going to take on a "found-footage" approach, much like that of "The Blair Witch Project" or "Paranormal Activity." But the producers have kicked that idea to the curb and confirmed they will not be using that in the next film.

It has also been confirmed this film will not be a sequel to the 2009 remake film but rather another reboot in and of itself.

Deadline reported the 2009 film saw modest success with a domestic haul of $65 million at the box-office.

Stephen King's magnum opus, or his series of books that have connected nearly all of his novels in one way or another, will finally be seeing the big screen on that day as well. "The Dark Tower" film adaptation has been an idea floating around Hollywood for quite some time. But now that Nikolaj Arcel has signed on to direct the epic series, the film is finally going to make its way to the screen.

The first film will be about the first book in the series and will introduce fans to the main character, Roland Deschain.
