In true Warner Bros. Pictures fashion, indecisiveness for their big, tentpole movies has led to another shift in dates.
First, DC's Wonder Woman is moving its date up by two weeks, from 23 June 2017 to 2 June 2017. This kind of spells some confidence in the movie to have it released two weeks earlier, meaning that the producers have faith in it and reevaluated their strategy in release date.
However, and not to be confused with this week's The Jungle Book, the Andy Serkis-directed Jungle Book: Origins has been pushed back by a whole year; from 6 October 2017 to 17 October 2018.
Serkis took to his Facebook account to say: "I'm absolutely thrilled that Warner Brothers have changed the delivery date of Jungle Book: Origins. The ambition for this project is huge. What we are attempting is an unprecedented level of psychological and emotional nuance in morphing the phenomenal performances of our cast into the facial expressions of our animals..."
I still have no idea what this movie is about because all Jungle Book stories that we know of are the origin story of Mowgli. I can only surmise that this Origins story will not have Mowgli in it. Either way, I'm not complaining about the change in dates as Walt Disney Pictures' The Jungle Book is going to crush it this weekend with so many rave reviews around it already.
