I always forget about those "pending approval from the Department of Justice" things. But that hasn't stopped corporations in the past from jumping the gun.

I wasn't necessarily talking about Respect's chances in particular, it just isn't common to release two movies on the same day. However, the movie is really one of the only choices for adults, and Aretha Franklin is still relevant today. I wouldn't call myself "obsessed" with it, or any other movie really. I don't mean to offend with that comment, or any other. Maybe I post about this movie too much, but there really isn't much else going on right now to talk about, so I thought it would be okay to talk about some of my future predictions for movies.

I would think that Flag Day would move later, or go to a streaming service. It dosen't seem particularly commercial to begin with and I don't know what they see in it.

Get Back is going to Disney+ and it's a six hour miniseries now. It's coming out on Thanksgiving.

Not sure if Disney+ will also be releasing Let it Be as well or if that will remain on the shelf.

I'd never even heard of this one. I got the idea that Beckinsale disappeared from acting completely after the last Underworld movie.

Hotel Transylvania 4 has moved from July 23rd to October 1st-which seems like an indication that The Addams Family 2 is getting pushed.

Only a few days after the posters were released with the July date. Shouldn't have jumped the gun.

The Addams Family 2 probably ends up moving up again. There almost always seems to be a kids' movie that does well in September.

Jerry Seinfeld is set to direct a movie for Netflix about the invention of Pop-Tarts. He is also planning to star in it. Filming will begin next spring.

You can't get more downmarket than Frank Grillo. I'm surprised his movies are still getting wide releases when he defines the term "straight-to-DVD".

Most of the smaller releases in October need to move. October is always packed with more releases than any other month and many with potential underperform due to an overage of product.

Movies play in October for two reasons: Oscars and Halloween. You have a better shot at success there than say, January.

Meanwhile, I have to imagine that won't be the final delay for Dune. It strikes me more as a Christmas release than Halloween.

I do agree with you on the reasons why October has so much product.

I'm pretty sure the movie that will move will be The Last Duel, however. I expect it to get the Christmas-limited-wide-mid-January spot that works almost always.

Scott has two movies scheduled for the end of the year. House of Gucci seems to be the more likely title to get pushed as MGM has a crowded Oscar lineup.
