The optics of what it would look like to rival studios are what matter more. Would give the impression they can just keep putting their movies near where Pixar movies are and force them out. That Ruby Gillman movie that DreamWorks just announced existed a few weeks ago should be the first one to blink if anyone.

 

That Ruby Gillman movie looks meh like hell, Dreamworks obviously is just sending it out to die. The same probably can be said about Elemental, it looks like you already know its plot without watching it cause this "your kind and my kind can't mix" story has been done a billion times already. So trying to save the movie by moving it makes little sense.

I've read some articles and this movie is more than that.

Nah, b/c that's definitely a riff on Little Mermaid, so they want proximity to that movie.  If they could have had Spidey's date, I think they'd have been over the moon...

Unless you're an asylum movie I don't think using your similarity to another movie as a selling point is a particularly sound business strategy. Anyone remember "We're Back"?

Because Devotion did so well after Top Gun Maverick.

From the same writer as Moonstruck. I think about that every single day.

Devotion didn't have a "make a little fun of the Top Gun concept" in it - little boys and girls who don't love princesses will probably eat that up.  It's like Shrek following a Disney princess movie...

 

And these are kid-skewing movies...not adult ones...

Anyway point about Elemental being there first still stands. I do think circumstances will work themselves out in the movie's favor at the box office if it is in fact high Pixar quality

Neat. If Disney is smart, they'll consider a major push in May after Guardians 3.

They´re doing another press tour, showing 1/3 of the movie and promoting interviews to drop later. It´s giving confidence in the project.

 

Seems like they´re doing a good job in this aspect, i hope they go as hard promoting it for the broader audiences as well

That could be a great date in some Latam countries as well, with winter holidays, biggest box office period of the year in Uruguay at least 

[JWR]

Could be helpful if word of mouth is strong enough.

It doesn't surprise me they've delayed in the UK because that date was empty but also releasing day and date was the exception rather than the rule.

[Veclozy]

I'll be shocked if this doesn't flop

trailer looks gorgeous..wish they moved it to a different release date though
