EXCLUSIVE: <\/strong>Deadline has learned that Warner Bros is making a slew of release-date changes next year. First of all, James Wan’s Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom <\/em>needs more time in postproduction, so it’s moving from March 17, 2023 to December 25, 2023. You’ll remember the first aquaman <\/em>was released during Christmas 2018 and made $335.1 million domestic and worldwide is one of two $1 billion-grossing DC pics alongside Todd Phillips’ Joker. <\/em><\/p>\n

To backfill that March 17 space, and also to capitalize on an Avatar<\/em>-less March, David F. Sandberg’s Shazam: Fury of the Gods <\/em>will be moving off its December 21 release date and heading to Aquaman 2<\/em>‘s old date. <\/em>Read: look how great the<\/em> Batman <\/em>was with its March opening at $134M and finaling at $369.3M.<\/p>\n

Another thing: Shazam 2<\/em> will have access to Imax screens on its new date, a premium-ticket format that Disney will otherwise be sopping up this December with Avatar: The Way of Water.<\/em><\/p>\n

In addition, delivering on Warner Bros Discovery CEO David Zaslav’s promise to give movies a theatrical window, two titles originally intended for HBO Max will be opening on the big screen exclusively. That’s the Calmatic-directed, LeBron James-Maverick Carter produced reboot of New Line’s House Party <\/em>opening on December 9 this year, and the Lee Cronin-directed Evil Dead Rise <\/em>opening on April 21, 2023. That sequel’s trailer played gangbusters at CineEurope we hear, hence another reason why it will now hit cinemas. <\/b><\/p>\n

Other big release dates: Warners will reignite the post-Labor Day box office period again in 2023 with Michael Chaves’ The Nun 2 <\/em>on September 8; the first pic opened to $53.8M in 2018, the best domestic debut for The Conjuring <\/em>franchise The feature take of Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot <\/em>is going from April 21, 2023 to a TBD date next year; the pic is still in post.<\/p>\n

Also, Warners has planted its flag in Super Bowl weekend with an untitled event film, dated for February 10, 2023.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
