New release dates:

The Dark Horse 4/1/2016 (from 12/11/2015) (looks like Broad Green doesn't like its Oscar chances)
Last Days in the Desert 5/13/2016
The Infiltrator 8/31/2016

And remember that movie called Satanik (aka Satanic aka Random) which was on the Weinstein release schedule a few years back before being pulled? Turns out it was finally released last month as Kristy, premiering in a cut version on Lifetime (where Grace of Monaco and Blindsided aka Penthouse North also ended up) before the uncut version hit Netflix earlier this month (good timing with the film's Thanksgiving theme). And the Weinstein shelf clearing continues.

New Fox dates:

Eddie the Eagle 2/26/2016 (from 4/1/2016)
The Other Side of the Door 3/11/2016 (from 2/26/2016)
Murder on the Orient Express (Kenneth Branagh does Agatha Christie) 11/10/2017

And Fox has officially pulled Fantastic Four 2 from the release schedule. The rumor that Deadpool 2 will replace it has not been confirmed but it is possible that Gambit takes the now-vacated 6/9/2017 date.

Wait... there was going to be an FF2? Really? Just how bad does a film have to tank to NOT get a sequel? If there is, I would have sworn FF was way below it. At least a second mistake was prevented. Sheesh.

It was announced before the first film opened and Simon Kinberg and Mark Millar (who serves in an advisory position at Fox) were trying to save it. The latter is why it took so long to officially kill the sequel (though it was known to be dead long before due to the Deadpool 2 announcement).

Speaking of flops with planned sequels, it's still not known what Paramount's going to do with those Terminator Genisys sequels they scheduled a long time ago.

New release date:

The Great Gilly Hopkins 2/19/2016

Freestyle (which was recently sold to entertainment mogul Byron Allen) will replace Picturehouse as distributor.

And The Veil will bypass theatres and go straight-to-DVD/VOD on February 2nd. Usually, Blumhouse titles held by Universal come out in waves but no other titles have been confirmed for this date (though could I see it being a small wave plus a few other non-Blumhouse titles, such as the Gold Circle-produced Search Party).

Fun House is now titled Whiskey Tango Foxtrot (obviously expecting audiences to know the abbreviated term). The date is still 3/4/2016.

New release date:

Money Monster 5/13/2016 (from 4/8/2016)

Sony must have little faith in this seeing how we've seen absolutely nothing for it and now it's been delayed to Summer.

It's the week after Captain America: Civil War and it will now face Snowden, Free State of Jones, A Bigger Splash, and the second week of Going in Style for the same audience. Also, Friday the 13th has been historically bad for adult-aimed fare (there have been exceptions but not often).

What an odd summer weekend it is now, all those adult dramas opening on a single day. And sandwiched between Cap and Neighbors/Angry Bird/POTC5/etc

Horror and teen-aimed movies do well. It's just the date has never suited adult-themed movies. It may have to do with the stigma of the date (American audiences are superstitious people) but more often or not, it's just not a good date if you want that older crowd.

New release dates:

Exposed (Keanu Reeves thriller) 1/22/2016
Remember 2/12/2016 (from 1/15/2016)
Delirium 9/30/2016 (from 4/1/2016)

And the 5/13/2016 BH Tilt film will be The Darkness, a title that little is known about right now (apparently it hasn't begun filming but I do remember The Gift only needed six months to go from the start of filming to release so it should make its date).
