When did that become allowed?
Sony’s highly-anticipated sequel Venom: Let There Be Carnage is releasing two weeks earlier than its previous date, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The film will now debut on October 1 instead of October 15, opening against Warner Bros.’ Sopranos prequel The Many Saints of Newark and United Artists’ The Addams Family 2.
Don’t get me wrong: I’m happy to see it make it to theaters sooner. I’m just… surprised, that’s all. The last two years has been one long litany of movie after movie being delayed or archived or sent off somewhere that isn’t its natural environment (a movie theater). I am so [expletive deleted] tired of it. Movie theaters are safe, dammit. But I can’t go to them if the studios freak out every time Twitter does.
So well done, Sony.
