The film has been listed as releasing on April 29th for some time. If Sony wants to keep that date, they better get on the ball with marketing it.

One week before Doctor Strange 2? LOL.

With zero word on promo less than three months before release I'm guessing this gets pushed to later in the year.

This is 99% going to Netflix or Amazon like The Tomorrow War. It's an original science fiction movie. That's more than enough for a flop these days.

Bad news about 65. It's anecdotal but I think it's significant:

 

I like to browse subreddits for the Oscars and the Oscar Race, and under a post about the SXSW film festival's lineup, I saw someone speculating about the secret screening, thinking it would either be 65 or The Northman. Someone replied to that comment, and here's where things get interesting...

 

The commenter ruled out 65 as the secret screening because they went to a test screening and believed the film to be hilariously terrible. That, and the VFX likely won't be finished in time for the festival—and the tone they wrote with implied the film wouldn't be ready for its upcoming release date. They said that Driver and their co-star are good in the film, but the film's choppy plot and goofy storyline lets the actors down.

 

We'll see what happens but the movie being bad won't do the film's box office any favors...

Wow. The potential Netflix/Amazon employee(s) lurking in that post's comments section must be rubbing their hands right now. The latter could definitely use another sci-fi film after The Tomorrow War.

Looks like that test screening did indeed go awry as @SLAM! implied.
