The First Omen, a supernatural horror film, will arrive on Disney+ Hotstar on May 30, 2024, just two months after its theatrical release. Directed by Arkasha Stevenson, the screenplay was co-written by Smith, Thomas, and Tim, based on a story by Ben Jacoby. Serving as a prequel to the 1976 original, this film marks the sixth installment in the Omen franchise. The cast includes Bill Nighy, Sônia Braga, Ralph Ineson, Tawfeek Barhom, and Nell Tiger Free.
The narrative centers around a youthful American woman serving as an altar server in a Roman church who inadvertently discovers a conspiracy to bring forth the Antichrist. Assigned by the church to start a life of service in Rome, the American girl encounters an enigmatic individual who prompts her to doubt her beliefs and reveals a chilling plan to birth a demon offspring. The First Omen began its theatrical run on April 5, 2024, captivating audiences around the globe. Garnering both critical acclaim and commercial success, this film has amassed a staggering $53 million in global box office earnings.
It is noteworthy that The First Omen and Immaculate have been considered twin films because of their simultaneous release, shared Italian locale, and similar plot. Immaculate, which premiered two weeks earlier and had a very similar premise of an American novitiate transferring to an Italian convent and becoming pregnant, may have played a significant role, among other things.
