The reactions if this gets delayed  

 

Potential new release dates if it gets moved to 2017? I was gonna say March but that month is PACKED. April 7 doesn't sound too bad. It would have the Easter holidays OS to help it. May 12 (The Great Gatsby release date), May 19 or May 26 don't sound bad either. June 30 in replacement of Uncharted is a possibility too (they have Spider-Man a week after that, tho...). October 6 wouldn't be bad either if the FOX/Marvel movie isn't Deadpool 2. October 13 would also work. Finally, my last option is December 22. 

May is pretty empty but I don't know if releasing so close to GOTG is a good thing. Could totally see the June 30 date happening, they'll be able to do double features the following week.

Gatsby released in the week after Iron Man 3 and GotG2 won't open as big as Iron Man 3.

It is. I can assure you that. I can't say more, tho

They're both sci-fi movies starring Chris Pratt though  The June 30 date is really good the more I think about it, the Fourth of July will also help.

[JennaJ]

Who's really surprised at this point?

 

Such a mess, Sony.

Will they want to release 2 big movies in back to back weekend, tho?

[JennaJ]

If they don't come out with an official release date for the trailer really soon, I'm gonna assume the movie isn't gonna come out this year.

 

It's getting ridiculous now - less than 5 months from release and still absolutely nothing as far as promo goes. I'm trying to see the official Facebook page and new logo as positive steps, but that's like grasping at straws. It feels like Sony doesn't have a plan.

lmao Sony is such a mess. I'm just waiting for the summer 2017 announcement any day now.

If it does get moved to summer, I dont think theyll do May, did you forget about GOTG 2, another Chris Pratt vehicle? Since Bad Boys 3, WWZ 2 and Uncharted aren't making those June 2017 dates they could stick it anywhere during that month if they want. I think June 16 is the best option, counter-programming against Kingsman: The Golden Circle and Cars 3 (which isn't the most popular Pixar animation franchise anyway) and it's not too close to their other big movie Spiderman: Homecoming.

May 19th or 26th could work

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

This is fucking hilarious.

Two Chris Pratt movies in one month, or even in back-to-back months, seems like a slight overkill to me. Especially considering they're both taking place in space.

I still wouldn't worry yet. The most likely target for a trailer premiere is The Magnificent Seven (another Sony release with Pratt). If it's still without marketing by then then yes this is getting delayed.

Magnificent Seven comes out exactly three months before Passengers' current release date.

Has there been a recent big tentpole film that only started promotion three months from release?

I agree. Honestly, Sony didnt even announce  officially that a trailer was going to be released this week. So if JLAW fans are upset, than that's their own fault.

Yeah, I would say M7 is the final chance at a trailer.

Not true. Jason Bourne started his mkt campaign in February.

It had a $5m Superbowl ad.

 

Closest would be MI5 but that's because they moved the date up 5 months very late in the game

I have a feeling this movie will be this year´s Jupiter Ascending, just with big stars.
