DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS | 05.06.2022 | Disney | 4th Most Profitable Movie of 2022

Good move. This and Thor being like 5-6 weeks apart was kinda too much, good that it's now 2 months. 

[imbruglia]

yeah. covid affected production a lot.. like we saw what happened with marvel shows. (delays and changes)

even with Shang-chi.. it needed more time for cgi works.

The delay sucks for some of the other films but I will admit I hated that March 25 date since they announced it. I like May 6 a lot better.

 

Just realized too with this shift everything is officially a year later. Doctor Strange WAS scheduled for May 7, 2021, Black Panther WAS scheduled for July 8, 2021, Thor for November 5, 2021 etc. etc. Makes sense with Eternals bowing a year after its initial date (November 6, 2020).

They just couldn't give me the first Raimi film in 9 years on my birthday, so had to move it. It got a way better date, but I can't guarantee there won't be consequences.

This. MoM being a huge part of the Multiverse storyline, neevr felt right in the old slot, and Thor:L&T never felt right in the tentpole spot. Don't get me wrong, we don't know how T:L&T connects to Phase 4 but so far nothing indicates that it will have relevance/impact of NWH and MoM. So it makes more sense to give MoM the spotlight spot. 

In a world where covid didn’t happen and Derrickson stayed on, this released in May 2021 lol

Black Panther 2 was originally slated for May 2022.

You're correct. I remember that now.

IS there a chance Spidey moves to march? Obviously Disney wont announce that since its a Sony release. Disney announce its changes accordingly?

I don't think so because these date changes are due to internal production matters only. Sony won't move THEIR movie because of whatever is going on with production on another studio's films.

No, there’s no chance.

but why would we want Derrickson when we can have Raimi?

[poweranimals]

Honestly probably for the best. I kinda wish they had spaced out this year's content a bit more. I know Covid delays played a role in that but still.

Yeah I don't think they had a choice this year. I griped for a long time about Shang-Chi's Labour Day weekend release but at the end of the day there's a back log of films and studios just need to get them out there. It's the reason for the crowded October as well. 

[Val357]

Oh by the way, I know this is probably anal but can someone change the thread title to May 6? I keep thinking 2023 when I see May 5.

[Darth Lehnsherr]

All the changes is probably due to Dr Strange not being ready for that March date. Well at least they are moving it than rushing

Well obviously we don’t but in the multiverse? The possibilities are endless.

[Legion Again]

Well, I guess that’s one way to solve the proximity to NWH marketing issue

[infamous5445]

I'm cool with this, now people can compare the grosses of the Batman and this without complaining one affected the other
