In simple terms, when you’re spending north of $150 million on a movie, you want to be absolutely sure it has the optimum opening date

 

What if an Avatar 2 decides to open say on May 4, 2018, 100% guaranteed TASM4 would move. Unless your Avatar, TA or SW picking a date 5 years in advance is foolish if you think you are getting the best date possible. 

 

but it normally isn’t good for business

 

Might not be good, but happens look at this past Mem wknd TH3 vs Fast 6. Movies have moved in the past due to being forced out by bigger movies.

 

The majority of the 12 movies already slotted for 2016, the 10 with dates in 2017 and the nine scheduled for 2018 don’t have titles yet. This isn’t a case of the studios grabbing dates and finding something to put on them later. They know which projects in their pipelines are going to be ready, even if they haven’t announced them yet.

 

Maybe, maybe not unless the Wrap has inside information here. 

 

Disney has an untitled Marvel movie set for the first week in May 2016. That weekend has in the past served as the launch pad for "The Avengers," “Oz the Great and Powerful” and “Alice in Wonderland.

 

Fail.

 

It won’t have that slot in 2018, however. Sony has swooped in and claimed that weekend for “Amazing Spider-Man 4.

 

Unless DIS release TA3 in that spot.
