I don't know what's going on with those pictures but October 2nd makes more sense from a film scheduling standpoint (as in, Thanksgiving as it currently stands is still very crowded)

This movie is cursed at this point. 1 year delay from the original release date.

WW's target audience is the exact age group that knows how to find a movie on their laptop and hook it up to the tv with zero difficulty. There's no way it could turn a profit on VOD.
Nor is there any way it's going to turn a profit if they wait until theaters are anything other than dead in the water. It's not going to happen as soon as they're hoping because a lot of people aren't as dumb as they're hoping.

True, but WW84 was already delayed before Covid. It was supposed to be out before Christmas 2019.
Tell me about it. So pissed they delayed it the first time just so they could have that summer date of the first movie. The movie was finished and ready for release back in Nov of 2019. So they delayed it a year for nothing.

Every time I go to the store I see the shelves of bags of Doritos with the WW84 promotional tie-in and just shake my head.

The art team got briefed and they were told to prepare multiple options for when marketing made their move.

The social media team then uploaded the files from the wrong folder.
I mean, yes, but I figured most corporate social media accounts had more red tape then this, like a Tweet would have to go through multiple people or something

I think they definitely are. Big American business isnt gonna wait much longer than this for vaccines or flattening curves.

Eventually they'll make you accept covid as a part of daily life (until you die of it.)

Trolls World Tour made some decent money for whatever the fuck that film was. I suppose these studios are playing chicken with each other to see who releases a big blockbuster online and gauging how much that makes.

Are people really going to go to a dark disease room to sit with strangers for two hours at a time by October? We're going to be hitting record highs by then.
