The Predator has been delayed to August 3rd 2018

Let's hope the marketing team does a good job on this one now they have the time. SDCC is a month before it too so they could do something special there perhaps...

I don't think that's a bad date. August is around the time where Summer vacation is technically ending. A good way to end it with a Predator movie. August releases for films I feel tend to fare better than the middle of the summer

For me I think It could be more time for rewrites etc.

They don't want it to get killed by Marvel.

what about Meg? Haven't heard much about it was ment to be a big deal.

Isn't it a Jason Statham vehicle? I don't think those tend to blow the box anymore outside of Fast & Furious sequels.

That means Arnold has landed a huge role in the film. Which is great.

Where does that confirm that Arnold is in the film?


MEG should be a pretty fun movie. I read the book (only the first) and it's a lot fun.

Nowhere, sadly. It's likely they've only moved the release window to flee the glut of blockbusters earlier in the year and give Predator a fair shot.

I love a good shark movie but there are so few good ones. I remember Meg being a good idea with an iffy story back in the day. And making it a Jason Statham movie just seems off. He can't kickbox the shark!

Does nothing of the sort.

Yeah, the book is pure cheese! How the megladon is killed is really out there. The series has garnered a very large cult following. I've never read any of the other novels. I expect it to be a cross between Jurassic Park and Jaws. More of a Jurassic Park feel though. It will probably be PG-13 as well which could hurt The Predator at the box office.

I just don't see a Jason Statham shark movie of a middling book from the '90s being a huge threat in August.

I'm just glad it got made. I've actually been waiting for it for a long time. I didn't ever think it would happen. My guess is that Meg will probably move again.

good. maybe they're reconsidering some of the nonsense in the current script.

[newagescamartist]

If Meg has a good trailer it'll make good money. People have been wanting that movie for a long time now.

I'd rather them stick to the nonsense than have it turn into Jurassic Park 3 where they're literally writing the script as they go along. That was a mess.

Got to admit a little bummed it got moved to August 2018. I'm hoping this gives a chance for a better story or better character development. If this helps the predator franchise I'm all for it.

Disappointing news but hopefully it works out for the best.

Black Panther is a boring character anyway.

What? T'Challa would rip a Pred to shreds.

Spoiler

I'd pay to see that:

It's a fair enough excuse for the delay. A hell load of people will be going to see Black Panther. The Pred film will have extra time to edit to make it even better, so it should be fine.
