The Latest Date Changes 2: The New Batch

[transformers2]

It's a clear dump job by Lionsgate. They're not even releasing it wide!

I had a feeling it would get the "select markets" treatment. It feels as if the film is only coming out to fulfill their deal with Seth Rogen, as Joy Ride was also produced by his company.

I guess if your Lionsgate movie isn't super violent or made for Evangelicals, it's not getting much love from them.

A24 just released a poster for Priscilla, suggesting that a release date announcement is imminent.

[BanksIsDaFuture]

Busc was kinda right - A24 dated Priscilla for October, but no concrete date yet.

Sony made some moves:

The Book of Clarence - 1/14/24 (from 9/22/23)
Dumb Money - 9/22/23 (from 10/20/23)
El Muerto - TBA (from 1/14/24

Wicked Part Two will open on Thanksgiving weekend 2025. Universal better hope audiences want musicals again to justify making Wicked two parts.

The untitled Avatar: The Last Airbender animated movie will open on 10/10/2025. I don't know if this was previously listed.

We're also getting a fourth SpongeBob SquarePants movie on 5/23/2025.

New dates:
The Holdovers 10/27/23 limited, 11/10/23 wide (from 11/10/23 limited, 11/10/23 wide)
Flint Strong 8/9/24

[Buscemi2]

I was beginning to think Flint Strong would get dumped onto VOD, seeing how it's been finished since last year.

Joy Ride is getting sneak previewed on Saturday night. I guess Lionsgate is making a push on it after all.

Meanwhile, A24 is releasing a documentary on Stephen Curry, subtitled Underrated, on July 21st before hitting Apple+ TV.

If you've seen reports about Beyond the Spider-Verse being pushed to 2026, it's not true. Note that the word "launch" is misspelled in the fake announcement.

[transformers2]

Neon has dated Eileen for an NYC/LA run on December 1st and a wide break on December 8th.

[transformers2]

MGM has dated The Beekeeper for January 12th, 2024

[Buscemi2]

I thought David Ayer was finished in the industry after The Tax Collector. And when's the last time Jeremy Irons actually took his career seriously?

[Buscemi2]

I saw Dead Reckoning is getting sneak previews on Sunday in a promotion with Wal-Mart in which tickets will be discounted. I'd go if I wasn't seeing the Ziggy Stardust reissue that day.

Also, it looks like The Miracle Club will be opening wide right away or at least semi-wide.

New dates:
What Happens Later 10/13/23
It Ends With Us 2/9/24

Also, The Untitled Radio Silence Universal Monster Movie is now titled Abducting Abigail
