The Latest Date Changes 2: The New Batch

[Buscemi2]

Eddie Huang's movie's finally coming out. Focus has scheduled Boogie for 3/5/2021.

Meanwhile, Nobody's been pushed a week to 2/26/2021. That last week before the Oscar deadline is looking crowded.

Disney/Fox Date Changes:
Raya and the Last Dragon 3/5/21 (now a Disney+ Premiere Access and theatrical release) (from 3/12/21)
The King's Man 3/12/21 (from 2/12/21)
Free Guy 5/21/21 (from TBD)
Death on the Nile 9/17/21 (from TBD)
Encanto (new animated project from the Zootopia directors) 11/24/21
Turning Red (new Pixar) 3/11/22
Thor: Love and Thunder 5/6/22 (from 2/11/22)
Lightyear (Buzz Lightyear origin story starring Chris Evans as Lightyear) 6/17/22
Black Panther 2 7/8/22 (from 5/6/22)
Captain Marvel 2 11/11/22 (from 7/8/22)
Rogue Squadron (Patty Jenkins-directed Star Wars movie) 12/22/23
Antlers TBD (from 2/19/21)

Cruella is also remaining theatrical for now, contradicting the rumors heading into Disney's announcement-filled earning calls yesterday.

Raya is not premiere access. It is included in the Disney Plus membership.

[Buscemi2]

I have to imagine Antlers is getting sold off now. Disney didn't really seem to have any interest in releasing a film about Wendigo.

Raya is not premiere access. It is included in the Disney Plus membership.

Well, damn. I just reread the article. It said Raya was going to be released like Soul, which I thought meant free with subscription. When I look at Disney's twitter, that's obviously not the case.

Monster Hunter is getting a one week IMAX run on Friday. I might actually see it blown up to large (or should I say monster-sized?) proportions.

BREAKING NEWS: A24 has made a move with their slate!!!!!! They've sold the Ilana Glazer-led/penned horror project False Positive to Hulu.

BREAKING NEWS: A24 has made a move with their slate!!!!!! They've sold the Ilana Glazer-led/penned horror project False Positive to Hulu.

They had me at "Illana Glazer horror"

[Buscemi2]

Can't be any worse than some of the other actor-penned horror films (Remember that movie Natalie Dormer wrote? Or the one written by the Prison Break guy?).

Back to the dates, Mortal Kombat has been pushed to 4/16/2021, suggesting that Judas and the Black Messiah will open on Kombat's old date of 1/15/2021. Meanwhile, Focus has slotted Robin Wright's Land, which sounds very similar to the Oscar favorite Nomadland, on 2/12/2021.

[Buscemi2]

Oscar-related moves:

Nomadland 2/19/2021 (general release after a one week virtual-only run earlier this month)
Joe Bell (formerly Good Joe Bell, the new title brings to mind the John Carter debacle years ago) 2/19/2021
Everybody's Talking About Jamie TBA 2021 (from 2/19/2021)

[Screen203]

A24 has dated Zola for June 30th and The Green Knight for July 30th.

Additionally, Nine Days is set for a Summer 2021 release.

Does anyone know what is happening with The Night House? There's been no word on it.

[transformers2]

Disney didn't get a chance to date it after they acquired it from Sundance and save for Nomadland, no Searchlight titles have a specific date, so it's just kind of stuck in limbo for the time being.

[Buscemi2]

Zola would seem like the kind of film that would do better on streaming than theatrical. I'm surprised A24 didn't sell it off.

As for The Night House, I can't be the only person who confuses it with The Night Clerk, that critical flop that hit Netflix earlier this year. I bet Disney dumps it like they did A Hidden Life ($14 million spent on that one and it got overshadowed by the studio in favor of Jojo Rabbit).

[Screen203]

Wasn't A Hidden Life acquired before Fox Searchlight was purchased? I can't imagine Malick and Disney would meet eye-to-eye on its release considering they are aiming at very different audiences.
