Read some analysis below.
Exhibitor Relations tweeted all these changes.
Moving The Secret Service, which is already shooting, is a bit of a surprise. The March release date gives it much less competition than the Fall release, and Vaughn more time to finish the film. But considering it is already shooting, one would have assumed we’d see the movie sooner, rather than later.
Assassin’s Creed moving to August is another move that makes a ton of sense. It gets out of a much more crowded June into August where a movie that’s a bit more niche (for general audiences at least) can discover it. Hopefully we get some updates on this one soon.
Finally, Feig’s Susan Cooper opening May 22, the day everyone assumed Star Wars would come out, is a huge vote of confidence. And why not? The last two Feig/McCarthy films have been huge hits. It opens against Tomorrowland.
What’s your major take away from all this?
