That solves Disney’s lack of year-end releases besides Wish, at least. Thinking Dune moves now.

 

But where? Warner Bros. has three December releases.

 

Maybe October 20th, the weekend BLACK ADAM opened.

Haunted Mansion already took it, lmao

 

Yeah, that's not a movie "taking a date" - if Oppenheimer takes the date, it will get all PLFs...

Oppenheimer is not moving. It already has the Imax contract. No reason to move and Barbie does not have any audience that will conflict with Oppenheimer for sure.

This has always made a lot of sense to delay after blade vacated. Helps ease up the summer logjam too.  
 

Notably they took the Veterans Day slot again with thanksgiving in 3rd weekend, instead of Ragnarok’s one week earlier release on an identical calendar. This makes it tough for competition to stake out the 3rd or the 17th so sort of plays defense for wish in a funny way. Will also boost OW (and so hurt legs).

GOOD.

 

Delay these damn films until they’re ready for release. The alleged delay on the Disney+ is another positive sign.

Is it a good idea to compete with The Hunger Games?

[ChipDerby]

Going to start treating Marvel releases like Michigan Football roster updates:

 

"any weight gain is muscle" = moving up means it's great!

"any weight loss is speed" = pushing it back to make it perfect!

Forgot this movie existed lmao. If it sticks (and a decent chance it will) nov could get awkward but I am sort of thinking flopalicious numbers for the prequel in a dead genre so I can see why Disney wasn’t too concerned.

[filmlover]

Honestly shocked this didn't move sooner considering Disney has nothing over the holidays besides Wish. Should do better over the holidays than at the end of a packed summer.

Now out November 10.

 

 

This is the worst poster of all time holy shit. I still think this is going under 400M WW.

Gonna love how people are absolutely going to say that the movie must be secretly terrible despite the talent attached and despite Feige saying for several weeks they're planning on spacing things out more. My guess is Secret Invasion and Loki play through Spring/Summer

Chloe Zhao and Taiki Waititi are Oscar winners, Eternals and Thor won’t be divisive

Sam Raimi and Waldron made some all timers. 

Quantumania introduces the big bad, it won’t have bad reviews.

 

Dude, you really can’t handle mild criticism.

 

 

Anyways November move is good. Less competition and more time for promotion. Thinking it’ll fall but I’m more confident in 300m plus now than I was months prior.

[Nikostar]

Can't wait to see what Nia does. Still love Candyman and Ms. Marvel got great reviews.

The dec corridor this year isn’t too gnarly, should have nice late legs ala BP2 if reception is there

[Saul Goodman]

Great decision tbh.

[BadOlCatSylvester]

The best decision made with this film by far. Even more so than getting a new director. It should've been delayed ages ago, since it otherwise would have died in the summer logjam. Wakanda Forever did relatively well on that November slot, so I can see this movie benefit from it too. Bizarre choice to announce this on Quantumania's opening weekend though. And I still think the indifference towards the first film as well as emerging franchise fatigue could hurt it. But this delay should help a lot with said fatigue.

Also gives them more time to focus on The Little Mermaid, Elemental, and Indy 5.

[eddyxx]

Wasn’t some one saying on here for months that it should move to November? And is this first time we got a poster without a trailer in a long time?

[CoolioD1]

rooting for this to fail ever since Nia Dacosta went on Blank Check to talk about Carpenter's The Fog and said it was boring and that she was on her phone the whole time.🙏🙏

[keysersoze123]

i wonder how Imax deals work for movies like Dune, Marvels and Hunger Games. Would be interesting to see. But this is not good news for Dune which I thought would benefit from not so crowded Nov/Dec. Now things have changed for sure.

I think they are planning something big for SDCC, want to generate more hype before releasing it.
