Has this sort of thing been done before? Where a movie was pushed back to avoid competition?
Early October seems like the best time. I hope they address this in some way, but I think when a second trailer drops in May or June it should be clear on what they go for.
This could be at the bar of other Pixar sequels, where they are seen as worse than the originals but still get positive reviews…
At least, worse from the perspective of fans.
