The Delay Could Have Happened To Avoid Blockbuster Competition
Of course, there could be any number of reasons behind the movie’s delay, but it seems likely that Warner Bros. made this schedule change for two key reasons. The first could be to avoid competition for the film from summer blockbusters that tend to release June through August and could impact the movie’s theatrical run. Another reason could be thatmovingOne Battle After Anotherto late September allows the film to have a run during awards season, which could enhance its profile, and lead to potential Oscar success forDiCaprio.
