Studios tend to have insider knowledge of all the other studios films so Disney must have known something about the other films coming out around the time of MPR to realize they don't have much potential to go up against their classic IP hence the date change. 

I mean you don't need insider knowledge to know that Bumblebee, Alita, and AQM are all facing an uphill battle. While my recent outlook on Bumblebee has turned very positive thanks to the teaser and Knight's seeming committed investment, it's no secret that the Transformers franchise is all but dead and buried after the last one. There's a lot of work cut out for BB if it's going to really succeed. Alita couldn't possibly look more niche if they tried, only some great WOM will save it. And we all know what kind of shape the DCEU is in right now, and AQM is the only higher profile release of the year left that has yet to begin marketing. Not exactly a fantastic sign.

Alita is just a non-factor at this point IMO. It's a tax write off already lol.

 

I think it's Aquaman vs Bumblebee that's a bad combination.

I also think it's a case that althought the effects are not done, the Disney execs have pretty much seen a final paste up of the film, and are convinced they have a very strong film on their hands, and it won't  disappoint..which is the main thing they had to worry about.

Bumblebee in particular, since they are marketing it as a family film,aiming for exactly the same demo as MPR.

Rated PG for some mild thematic elements and brief action

People are treating this like it will do Star Wars numbers lol

Yeah, 200m is way too low, what are they thinking?

So, on the phone with my mom and brother today, my mom decides to tell me she's decided on her Xmas movie.  My brother starts joking about how can you decide 5 months early...but she pipes up and says, "oh that's easy...it's gonna be Mary Poppins 2."  So, this movie has infiltrated the senior citizen demo 5 months early.  (I'm pretty sure she got the preview at her MM2 showing today, and obviously fell in love with it)...

I wonder how many times someone wandered onto the opposite set between this and Nutcracker looking really similar.

They said “i’d not i’m“ as in speculating. 

 

Cause there is no reason to drop TLK right now. It would drawf everything else.

That would be ahmazing, but I'd put TS4 on Wed and TLK on Friday for the showstopper.

[Valonqar]

Poor Aladdin, how is it gonna stand out in that line up? 

[Eric is Quiet]

 

Obviously, it could still happen, since the GMA anchors could introduce it themselves, but don't be surprised if when Monday rolls around we don't get a trailer.
