The Latest Date Changes 2: The New Batch

[transformers2]

I had no clue it was happening either until a bunch of people in my neck of the woods were buzzing about seeing Jon Hamm filming a movie around the area last summer.

[Chienfantome]

There's a Fletch movie with Jon Hamm ? And I see it's directed by Greg Mottola ??

[Buscemi2]

The cast is intriguing but Mottola's in movie jail with that Keeping Up with the Joneses movie from some years back. Also, some of those Showtime originals haven't been the best.

Focus has dated The Silent Twins for September 16th.

[Buscemi2]

I remember reading about the real-life Silent Twins on Cracked years ago. That is one bizarre story.

Meanwhile, I found out A24 has a prequel to X that no one asked for called Pearl coming out later this year. Seeing how big of a flop X was, I'd be surprised if this didn't end up being day-and-date with Showtime.

Searchlight has dated Empire of Light for December 9th

[Buscemi2]

I guess Poor Things being pushed to next year made that decision easy. So what happens to Next Goal Wins?

[transformers2]

Taika Waititi confirmed in an interview with a Spanish publication during the Thor press tour that Searchlight pushed it to 2023.

So it will have been more than three years after principal photography ended before it gets released. Does Disney think they'll get some Top Gun-level anticipation by sitting on it?

Back to the dates, it what shouldn't be a surprise, Fear has vacated its date yet again. I have to imagine this will be a day-and-date title now.

Secret Headquarters hits Paramount+ on August 12th. The ad campaign makes me think of that Tim Allen superhero movie from the 2000's that absolutely no one liked.

[Buscemi2]

Netflix has picked up Rob Zombie's update of The Munsters, initially planned by Universal as a straight-to-DVD title, for a release in September.

[Buscemi2]

Get ready for another sequel no asked for. Jeepers Creepers Reborn arrives through Fathom Events on September 19th.

[transformers2]

Focus and Universal have nabbed the global rights to Asteroid City, so the panic over it potentially heading to streaming can finally end.

[Buscemi2]

Funny Pages has just started its ad campaign, which looks to suggest a release date announcement is imminent. This will be a theatrical exclusive and not be a day-and-date title related to A24's deals with Apple or Showtime.
