BO: Sony Pictures moves MORBIUS from January 28, 2022 to April 1, 2022. [MORBI] Antibody Jan 03, 16:08

Going to be a pretty grim January. Moonfall should move up a weekend presuming Knoxville is still doing WWE on the 28th. {nm} notfabio Jan 03, 16:18

Sony was going to go live with advance ticketing I think this weekend, so they probably had to pull the trigger today or stick it out. {nm} notfabio Jan 03, 16:20

That weekend of 1/21 is already one of a lot of WTF releases. With enough theaters, ALINE can be #1. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jan 03, 18:14

DL: More or less agrees, pins it on SPID8 over-performance (though good legs or not...it's definitely going to be played out by the 28th) notfabio Jan 03, 17:58

...Sony decided that the surge of the Omicron COVID-19 variant was enough to push the release back 3 months, 2nd time it's been pushed back. Flash Jan 04, 13:32

Maybe..but Sony's fiscal year ends March 31. So they could well want some box office "next year" after banking Venom/GB/Spidey this year {nm} ad48 Jan 04, 13:38
