Default Re: Release date for Power Rangers Movie delayed

Like clockwork. The AMC guy was actually pretty open minded this time and I agree with him. This is a red flag that can't be ignored. It's not the delay itself, but WHEN they decided to release it instead. Going from summer to January isn't a move that screams confidence. Does it automatically mean the movie will be terrible and Lionsgate no longer cares? Of course not. But it IS something that might signal the existence of issues. We don't know what it means yet but it's a reason to wonder and be cautious right now.

That said, the general consensus in their discussion was that it's probably Lionsgate taking a step back and reevaluating the situation after Power/Rangers. I don't know how true that is, but if this is what people familiar with the industry are assuming, I take it as a good sign. They were also all quite optimistic about Dean Israelite being on board. Ironically, this bad news has led to the most hopeful and positive AMC Movie Talk discussion about the movie yet.
