Mickey 17 Trailer at CinemaCon Debuts Multiple Robert Pattinsons (variety.com)

[ThomasNicole]

From what i read the movie looks very weird, bizarre and it’s more of a comedy scifi than a serious dramatic movie 

 

Maybe that’s why they put it January 

[Speedorito]

It must not be very good if they gave it the Argylle slot. That stuff about the Lunar New Year and pushing it out of 2024, a weak year for blockbusters, to secure IMAX, is the laziest spin.

Trailer reception from the people who watched was excellent, even more excited than Joker

Bong Joon Jo Hollywood works nicely with Hollywood, his American films, while not his best, are still strong. Can't wait to see what he cooked.

I'm so angry they edited out Steamboat Willie, he was my favorite Mickey

I'm now convinced Sneider isn't an actual "insider" but a paid PR hitman who works to talk down other studio's movies. Wasn't he the guy who said there was no way Dune 2 would actually make money?

Books is just ok, nothing more, anyway, it's interesting what Bong Joon-Ho  will do with this material.

Comedy scifi or scifi with comedic elements like Edge Of Tomorrow. That one turned out amazing with some funny moments

We really should move on from Sneider, he doesn’t know shit. He was spreading misinformation about Sydney Sweeney like a week ago.
 

Yeah everyone loved the footage they watched, but Sneider who didn’t see it is the actual reliable source? 
 

Dude hates Bong, he spend months of his life attacking Parasite during it’s award season and historical Oscar wins. That’s why he’s constantly attacking this movie.
 

Maybe the movie is indeed bad? Maybe it is, that’s not my point, but there’s no actual reliable info about quality issues, Sneider isn’t a good guy, and good movies can be released in January. Just see M3GAN last year and it’s 94% score in the first week of January.

From what i read, really comedy, not just elements. 
 

Let’s see how it turns out, I agreed that Edge Of Tomorrow is very funny. I think it can be a good combo of genres if done right.

I agree that he's an asshat, but the movie simply being bad isn't impossible. These movie directors are human too, and can slip up and make mistakes once in a while. That's just as possible as Zaslav, a glorified reality TV executive, not understanding a weird genre movie and automatically assuming the worst as far as revenue is concerned.

The movie had test screenings. I'm pretty sure that if the movie scored high on the screenings, they wouldn't dump it in January. I doubt Zaslav just made this decision by himself

[Cmasterclay]

I heard the movie is movie is simply Okja level weird and offputting but by no means bad. Not a binary, black and white thing why they made this release choice.

[AniNate]

I still think that "Korean New Year" rationale was very flimsy and didn't give a good look

That aligns with the more concrete info about test screenings we had, good reception but offputting and not super commercial neither award bait. 

 

WB already have a bunch of IP’s with apparently stronger award prospects to release in the next months, maybe January without competition is the best option for it commercially afterall, who knows.
