Got the trailer at Ghostbusters. Looks like it could be good, but also like it has NO audience lol

[Arlborn]

Good trailer, looks very imaginative. I'm expecting BFG numbers though, that's the vibe I get from it.

[Blankments]

Getting the trailer again at Bourne; I now think this looks pretty excellent

Been delayed to Christmas day platform release, before a wide release on January 6th:

...That was my most anticipated movie of October! I'm actually REALLY bummed.

 

Well at least it seems to be getting positive reception. I take my wins where I can get them. 

[Hiccup23]

This movie looks amazing. To bad the GA will not see it.

Fall is so crowded, especially Oct. This is a good move for it.

[WrathOfHan]

Lmao, why does this keep getting delayed? This is gonna do even worse now.

[Morieris]

Honestly besides Ouija and Madea anything else could have been moved from that weekend. Actually, an entire month of spooky movies on Fridays would have been pretty cool, but whatever, gotta get that profit and ward off fatigue.

 

At least it's not contending with the will be juggernaut that is The Nut Job 2.

I'm kind of bummed out, since this was pretty much the only film I was looking forward to between September to October and now the worldwide release date has probably been moved to like January.

Its in a January dump slot. Im afraid this wont find an audience in theaters no matter where they put it. 

[IndyRex]

Why you all think it won't find an audience?

They're probably hoping that they can take advantage of Jones' profile boost after Rogue One.

I am seeing this no matter what. The trailers look fantastic

 

[CJohn]

It will still do nothing. This movie has no audience.

Wonderful news, but I knew it would be when Spider man told Captain America it was "incredible."

 

 

 

From early reactions the December move is because Focus is going to give the film an awards push.

That one trailer is pretty amazing, happy to hear early buzz is equally as great.

A Monster Calls has been called (no pun intended) "A masterpiece", "Best movie of the year", and Bayona has been called "The next Spielberg" (last time it happened with Shyamalan).

 

 

 

 

....I think Shyamalan really was (and maybe still is) the next Spielberg, except for 3 awful films. But Spielberg did really bad films too, so... I write this very little so you won't start killing me lol
