Article Summary

  • D-Box unveils a striking new red poster for Paramount's upcoming horror film Primate.
  • Primate lands a January 9, 2026 release date, staying true to the month's wild horror tradition.
  • Marketing includes a trailer, featurettes, and an audience reaction video, but hype remains low-key.
  • Primate could be a breakout hit or fade into obscurity among past January horror releases.

January has a reputation for being something of a dumping ground for buckwild horror movies. Sometimes, it works out, and we get massive hits and cultural moments like M3GAN. It also doesn't work out, probably more often, and to the point that most people don't even remember the failures because they made so little of an impact. Primate is shaping up to be another one of those January releases that is either going to find an audience for its buckwild concept, or it's going to crash and burn spectacularly in the opening weeks of the year. We like to start the new year with fireworks, but not like this. Paramount isn't burying the film, but they aren't pushing it super hard either. We have a trailer, a couple of featurettes, and one of those audience reaction videos. D-BOX stepped in and gave us a new poster today, which might be the reddest poster we've seen in a hot minute. Aside from the overwhelming red, it's not a badly designed poster, if a little cliché, but that seems to track with a lot of the elements we've seen from Primate so far.
