Holy shit, when has this ever happened before? I was prepared to patiently wait another year, but now I'm excited.

It is unusual. Release dates almost always get delayed, but this one actually got moved forward by like 8 months! Yeah, I'm excited too, I just assumed we wouldn't see it until 2025.

The delay was because of the industry strikes, and since they are over it makes sense to release now.

Oh, of course, the strike ending forced another reshuffle! I forgot about that, thank you.

Why did I think it was coming out in November?

You need a blanket? Want the TV on?

But then it didn't

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That was the original date, but it was delayed back in August due to the strikes in Hollywood.

Isn’t that when studios release movies that they think will tank?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

At least it's not January. Probably wants it moved back up after the strike delays
