Winnie-the- Pooh: Blood And Honey got viral online for transforming a childhood favorite into a macabre slasher figure upon first announcement in 2022. Though opinions were split, this internet virality seemed to convert into financial success since Blood and Honey was one of the unexpected success stories of 2023. Originally scheduled for a one-night national event, it was increased to a large worldwide theatrical distribution on a limited $100,000 budget and brought $5.2 million at the box office.
Blood And Honey was eviscerated by critics for its poor story, inconsistent acting, and general lack of any terror or humor notwithstanding its box-office popularity. Considered as one of the worst films ever produced, the original has a pitiful 3% Rotten Tomatoes score. Though its RT score is still Rotten at 50%, Winnie-the- Pooh: Blood and Honey 2's reviews were somewhat better, therefore marking the Sequel as an improvement over the original in many respects. Its audience score, 79%, exceeds the 50% of the original as well.
Serving as a horror retelling of A.A. Milne and E.H. Shepard's books, the independent slasher film follows Pooh's killing spree—this time through Christopher Robin's childhood town, Ashdown—as he seeks retribution against him for revealing his existence to the world. The cast of Blood and Honey 2 consists in Scott Chambers, Ryan Oliva, Tallulah Evans, Teresa Banham, Peter DeSouza-Feighoney, Alec Newman, Simon Callow, and so forth.
Now, more than two months following its theatrical debut, the digital release date of the sequel has become known. Along with Blu-ray and DVD at a later date, Winnie-the-pooh: Blood and Honey 2 will be exclusively available on Amazon on June 26 before hitting other digital platforms, according to the official account on X, formerly Twitter.
The movie office results of the sequel dropped to a meager $1 million, despite somewhat better reviews. This hasn't stopped Winnie-the- Pooh: Blood and Honey 3 from starting development, nor The Twisted Childhood Universe (TCU) with more horror films scheduled, including Bambi: The Reckoning, Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare, and Pinocchio: Unstrung. Announced additionally and seemingly not a joke is the first crossover event for the franchise, Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble. Audiences may review or catch up on the TCU at home before next releases with Winnie-the- Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 arriving to VOD.
