Default Re: Release date for Power Rangers Movie delayed

I like the fact that the three AMC Movie Talk guys are optimistic about the movie. But they should in NO way model this like the short film in terms of tone, casting or story. Maybe a nod or two, but that's it.

I also think Lionsgate is waiting for Universal to move Furious 8 up to April 7. The FF films have a steep drop-off after opening weekend, and Lionsgate could open this on April 14 or April 21 if they want to be more competitive.

But I also have to point out that DreamWorks Animation is opening Kung Fu Panda 3 late January next year. Obviously timed for Chinese New Year in early February, but still surprising to see a franchise with two summer films opt for a winter release with the third. And it'll cost a lot more than what Lionsgate will spend on this movie, I would wager.
