WORLDWIDE RELEASE DATES
Pushing the Jupiter Ascending release date to Feb. may have been a positive. During the delay,
Eddie Redmayne, who plays the film's villain, has emerged as an Oscar frontrunner for his work
in The Theory of Everything. It could generate new interest. (x)
...it was technical effects work, not any larger creative rejiggering or marketing rethink, that was prompting the delay.
Whether that's a primary or sole factor is hard to say (certainly the reaction to early material hasn't been great). But for all the initial signals it sent, the move may not turn out to be that bad. That's not because the film is officially out of a more crowded time (that rationale has always seemed a little weak to me, since yes, there's more competition in the summer, but more people are going to movies) but because the general idea of taking an extra beat to release a film, whatever the reason, has actually worked out pretty well in recent years...
Update Dec.11, 2014. New poster (x)
