Surprised that it will arrive before the previously scheduled date. Coming 2 America and Without Remorse both came after the previous dates.

For the three or four people that actually wanted it, The House Next Door: Meet the Blacks 2 will open on June 11th, four years after it finished filming.

Yet another not overly surprising move: Amazon is closing in on a deal to acquire Cinderella from Sony.

In 2021, is there really still an audience for movies starring pop musicians not named Lady Gaga?

Meanwhile, I saw that Netflix picked up Wish Dragon and will premiere on June 11th. It looks like that any Sony Pictures Animation title that isn't Spider-Man or Peter Rabbit will be a Netflix exclusive from now on.

Nine Days finally gets a new date for July 30th. I remember seeing trailers for this months ago.

With the recent breakthrough outbreaks involving the Yankees and Padres (but somehow, no games have been delayed yet), it would not surprise me to see a few movies get delayed or get sold off to streaming and debut on their previously scheduled dates or sooner. Yes, it's a small percentage contracting it after getting the vaccine but food for thought.

Jungle Cruise's July 30th release has pivoted to a simultaneous theatrical/Disney+ Premier Access release. This will apparently be the final title they're applying the hybrid release strategy to since Bob Chapchek confirmed today that Disney's final 2 "summer" releases (Free Guy and Shang-Chi) won't be available on VOD until they've been in theaters for 45 days.

In smaller release news, The Card Counter has been dated for September 10th.

I only just saw a new trailer for Jungle Cruise a few days ago. A day-and-date run might be the best option for it.

And I'm still amazed they think Free Guy will be a hit.

Anyone else notice that Regal's going to running Scoob! in their theatres next Friday, a year after it crashed and burned on HBO Max and as a PVOD rental?

Regal has a program where they play recent children's movies for cheap in the morning, but this doesn't seem to be one.

It's probably just a contractual thing.
It's not destroying. It's making something new.

Yes, but Warner Bros. has previously declared that Scoob! would not be made available as a theatrical title in the US. Why they changed their minds makes little sense.

Who exactly is giving Robert Eggers $110 million to make a movie? His two previous films combined didn't even make half that.

i'd take that figure with a grain of salt. From the parties involved I'd be shocked if they put in that much money.

That's the number IMDb listed. Considering how it's IMDb, I would take that figure with a grain of salt, but the film is a co-production between Universal and Disney so maybe the two parties did in fact give him $110 million.
