I'll never understand the way they announce a film's premiere before they even start production. It all smells of the same bullshit corporate mechanism that cancels projects midway or ends up in theaters with subpar visuals and editing that feels rushed, with cookie-cutter action sequences and generic CGI villains.

The difference between
Film as product
and
Film as art

You can have a due date and still be "film as art".

The date might even move around, maybe it gets bumped a week, maybe moved to November, who knows.

Let's look at "Oppenheimer", that came out during the same timeframe as this film is expected to, late July. It started production in early 2022.

Fantastic Four is also starting (or already in) production. Each take a year and a half to be made. Why can't they both be art?

Making a film takes a lot of effort. So it makes sense that they would have a rough idea of how long it would take to make. Especially Disney/Marvel who have made A LOT of movies like this.

Studios schedule out pretty far in advance and every date affects everything else (they don't want their own movies competing with one another). And shooting schedules are affected by those schedules, which means your actors might not be available if you change something. MCU stuff is further complicated by the fact that there's links between the movies.

There's definitely movies that are made on a less strict time frame but you often don't see those put on the schedule until they're complete. So you'll see a long gap between when they're finished and when they're in theaters.

Oppenheimer wasn't a generic ass superhero of the week™ either.
