The Latest Date Changes 2: The New Batch

[BanksIsDaFuture]

Paramount has dropped The Little Prince so it will not be released next week.

Also:

The Bye-Bye Man - 6/3/16 (from 10/14/16) (STX horror film)

[Buscemi]

Maybe someone else will pick up The Little Prince and not sit on it for two years (both the French and English versions are already out in Canada so it looks like I'll have to import it just to see it). This combined with the underperformance of 10 Cloverfield Lane and the layoffs over Zoolander No. 2 losing over $80 million make me wonder if Paramount's going to have a regime change coming. Their last 18 months have been dreadful.

New release dates:

Men and Chicken 4/22/2016
The Family Fang 4/29/2016
Papa: Hemingway in Cuba (Giovanni Ribisi is Ernest Hemingway) 4/29/2016
Being Charlie (one of two 2016 Rob Reiner films) 5/6/2016
The Lobster 5/13/2016 (from TBA 2016)
Search Party 5/13/2016 (going to theatres almost a year and a half after its European release)
Eat That Question: Frank Zappa in His Own Words 6/24/2016
Captain Fantastic 7/8/2016
Our Little Sister (new Kore-eda movie, based on a manga) 7/8/2016
Bad Moms (aka Troublemakers) 7/29/2016 (from 8/19/2016)
Equity (Wall Street drama with Anna Gunn) 7/29/2016
The Hollars 8/12/2016
The Space Between Us 8/19/2016 (from 7/29/2016)
Kidnap TBA August 2016 (from 5/13/2016)
Loving 11/4/2016 limited, 11/11/2016 expansion
Manchester-by-the-Sea 11/18/2016 limited, TBA December 2016 wide
Same Kind of Different as Me 2/3/2017 (from 4/29/2016)
A Cure for Wellness 3/24/2017 (from 9/23/2016)
Captain Underpants 6/2/2017 (from TBA 2017)
Indiana Jones 5 7/19/2019

Meanwhile, Arms and the Dudes is now titled War Dogs. The release date remains at 8/19/2016.

And Netflix has picked up The Little Prince, so it will no longer have a theatrical release (unless a few theatres pick it up for matinee showings, which is what the Drafthouse chain is doing for Pee-Wee's Big Holiday this weekend). I was really hoping GKIDS or Funimation would pick the film up so it could get a decent-sized release (with both versions available) and help independent animation in the process. With Netflix, it's likely going to get lost in the shuffle (and the 3-D version won't be available anywhere in the States).

New dates:

Clown 6/17/2016 (looks like it will be limited rather than wide)
Collide TBA 2016 (from 4/1/2016)
Fist Fight 2/17/2017
Annabelle 2 5/19/2017
Untitled WB Event Film 8/11/2017
Live by Night 10/20/2017 (from TBA 2017)

[Shrykespeare]

Collide moves again? According to whom?

[Buscemi]

A few non-Box Office Mojo sites (such as BoxOffice.com) have it no longer listed at April 1st. Also, there's no trailer or poster out (though a trailer was submitted to the MPAA) a week before opening so there's no way we'll be seeing it next Friday.

Related to Open Road, they will be opening the Sundance hit Gleason on 7/15/2016. Not sure if it will be limited or wide right away but Open Road does see a sleeper with it (it's a documentary on ex-football player Steve Gleason and his battle with ALS).

And more new dates:
The Infiltrator 7/15/2016 (from 8/31/2016)
Indignation 7/29/2016 (Summit and Roadside to team up on its release)
31 9/16/2016 (Saban will now distribute instead of Alchemy)
Life (Ryan Reynolds sci-fi film from the Deadpool writers) 3/24/2017

[Buscemi]

I just found out Netflix has picked up Mike Flanagan's Hush and will premiere it on the site on April 8th (ironically, the date his Before I Wake was previously scheduled). I would have liked to have seen it in the theatre but at least it's not being dumped into DVD-only hell.

I saw that too. Funny as it was made after Before I Wake and yet it's coming out first. Like you Boosch I'd like to see it in theatres but I'll settle for seeing it sooner on Netflix.

[Buscemi]

And another movie from the failed Clarius label finds a new distributor. Saban will now release Cell, the Stephen King adaptation with John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson. This leaves The Outskirts as the one remaining title from them without a distributor (I'm thinking this one goes straight-to-DVD or gets a token day-and-date run).

And a few new dates:
The Phenom (Ethan Hawke/Paul Giamatti drama) 6/24/2016
Septembers of Shiraz 6/24/2016 (eOne/Momentum will now release this orphaned Alchemy title from the director of The Sapphires)
Our Kind of Traitor 7/1/2016
Queen of Katwe (Disney and Mira Nair do chess) 9/23/2016
Office Christmas Party (another rushed-into-production holiday movie) 12/9/2016
Born in China TBA April 2017 (a full two years after its trailer was released)
Wonder Woman 6/2/2017 (from 6/30/2017)
Untitled Warner Bros. Event Film #2 10/6/2017
How the Grinch Stole Christmas 11/10/2017 (from 11/17/2017)
Let it Snow 11/22/2017 (from 12/9/2016) (looks like even Universal's deciding the John Green gravy train has left the station)
Untitled DC Film #1 10/5/2018
Jungle Book: Origins 10/19/2018 (from 10/6/2017)
Untitled DC Film #2 11/1/2019

The two untitled DC films are not the already scheduled Aquaman, Shazam, Cyborg, or Green Lantern Corps. I'm guessing they are Lobo (Wonder Woman's writer is scripting, Joel Silver is reuniting with Warner Bros. to produce) and Booster Gold & Blue Beetle (Greg Berlanti, who produces The Flash, Arrow, and Supergirl, is set to direct). Another possibility is Sgt. Rock (which has been on-and-off development for 30 years but apparently has had a new script commissioned).

New dates:

Genius 6/10/2016 (from 7/29/2016)
De Palma 6/10/2016 (A24 is distributing this documentary co-directed by Noah Baumbach)
Weiner Dog 6/24/2016 (IFC will distribute for Amazon)
Little Men 7/15/2016
Five Nights in Maine 8/5/2016
Florence Foster Jenkins 8/12/2016 (going with the customary Streep in August slot instead of awards prestige)
Cafe Society 8/12/2016 (Lionsgate will distribute for Amazon)
Ben-Hur 8/19/2016 (from 8/12/2016)
Kickboxer: Vengeance 8/19/2016
Blood Father 8/26/2016
Complete Unknown TBA August 2016
The Bye Bye Man 12/9/2016 (from 6/3/2016)
The Nut Job 2 5/19/2017 (from TBA 2016)
Untitled Sony Event Film 9/15/2017 (rumors point towards either Zombieland 2 or MIB 23)
Blade Runner 2 10/6/2017 (from 1/12/2018)

Meanwhile, STX is planning an remake of the 1962 Rosalind Russell/Natalie Wood film Gypsy with Barbra Streisand set to play the Russell role (no one announced for the Wood role but my best guess is that Anna Kendrick gets cast). Barry Levinson is in talks to direct and I imagine we will see it next Christmas.

Also, A Meyers Christmas is now titled Almost Christmas. The date is still 11/11/2016.

And another Alchemy title finds a new distributor. Music Box will now release John Turturro's Mia Madre. The film was set to open in March but Alchemy's financial troubles pulled it from the schedule. Music Box is planning a late summer/early fall release. Related to distributors, Broad Green will release The Neon Demon in the US for Amazon. The film will open sometime in June.

In distributor news, CBS (distributing through Lionsgate) will release the Demetri Martin/Kevin Kline film Dean, which was a hit at Tribeca. I expect a Fall release for awards consideration.

In distributor news: Lionsgate will distribute The Last Face and the Joseph Kosinski-directed No Exit (the latter via Summit).

Meanwhile, The Disappointments Room and Masterminds could bypass theatres and premiere on Netflix, pending a court hearing. If Netflix wins, both could premiere next month.

And the first Fast and the Furious may be returning to theatres next month. Universal recently submitted a new trailer that will probably be sent out next week with Neighbors 2.

New dates:
Sleepless (new title for Sleepless Night) 2/24/2017 (from 11/11/2016)

That must be a record for a TBA draft pick getting a release date. Usually my draft picks lose their dates, not vice-versa, so maybe this is a good omen for me this year.

[Buscemi]

New dates:

The Neon Demon 6/24/2016

Untitled DC Film (2020) 7/24/2010 (from 5/29/2010)

In distributor news, Sony Pictures Classics will release Paul Verhoeven's Elle. It's not often when they distribute thrillers.
