This seems like a terrible idea. It's gonna get buried against the competition.

Hopefully they keep this line going strong until that movie drops. If they stop it, and try to reboot, I have a feeling it will be another complete shit show.

This Joe movie is going to be a boxoffice disaster. Since the movie is done, my best opinion is to release it on VOD now. People are staying at home... hungry for any new movie. Just look at how Trolls 2 performed. That movie was nowhere near as good as the first one and yet people gobbled it all up and gave it a boxoffice record just because they had nothing else to watch. Just imagine what Snake Eyes could have achieved on this year's Halloween VOD release. Kids staying at home with no trick-or-treating + a new, non-horror movie both the kids and parents can enjoy. Snake Eyes would have been a box office hit for the Halloween weekend. |

Lame as absolute balls. I know that the movie companies out there are paranoid of streaming and how it'll murder the cinema industry so I guess that's why they're so hesitant of putting it up on VOD services... but c'mon. COME ON, man. Sn'eyes is gonna fail SO hard because of the slot it's put in.

I’m not going to fuss too much yet. The pushback was inevitable, but I think there remains time to adjust. I think the biggest issue is that Hasbro really wants a coordinated marketing push...but as it stands, Snake Eyes is going to be overshadowed by two massive films with MUCH larger marketing budgets.
I still suspect dates will change. A quick look at the schedule shows a rather bloated fall slate (a result of the filming delays), but there’s a LOT of opportunity earlier in the fall (especially August at this point). At this point, it looks like Paramount is primarily looking at THEIR OWN slate, and not necessarily the state of the market. They probably just changed the date to clear it off the upcoming release schedule more than anything else at this point. If nothing else, I’d hope that Hasbro might step in to push the film to an earlier date and avoid conflicting with Spider-Man (that Hasbro is also making toys for). Again, August or September would be strong contenders with a light schedule (at the moment) and being able to leverage the fall resets for stronger toy line support. If nothing else the film’s more modest budget might well offset weaker box office results, assuming it moves out of October between two MASSIVE tent pole releases.
