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.

[–] nocturne213@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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?

I was mandala'd, now I'm locked to the couch. Send help. And Funyuns.

You need a blanket? Want the TV on?

But then it didn't

[–] M137@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Feirdro@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Stamau123@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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