Despite Other Films Having Delays ‘Matrix 4’ Has Been Pushed Up
By George Robbins
There has recently been a lot of news in regards to the release schedules of many films over the course of the coming months. Among the news that we have received about the changes to these releases were a lot of information about the changing of entire line-ups of films due to the fact that timetables for releases are all kinds of messed up now. This has a lot to do with the fact that studios are really just trying to wait out the pandemic while simultaneously trying to beat out other studios on release windows. This is how we have ended up with movies being pushed back all the way up to a year while others have only been shifted a couple of months. Things are getting tougher for studios and it is becoming much more noticeable.
The studio that it has become perhaps the most noticeable for has been Warner Bros. who took the brunt of it all by releasing their movie ‘Tenet’ as the first blockbuster on the market. After the overall failure that followed on the domestic front, Warner Bros. took some time to figure out what their next steps were actually going to be. This is when they decided that they were going to push back their next big budget release, ‘Dune,’ to October of next year instead of keeping it in December of this year. Unfortunately, this pushed back their entire line-up and it even ended up affecting four of their upcoming DCEU films. Not all of the news to come out of the studio has been bad news though.
While Warner Bros. might now be dealing with the fact that they have to push back the release line-up for many of their films, they have managed to make a startling announcement. Their next upcoming entry in the Matrix franchise, aptly named ‘Matrix 4,’ is actually supposed to now come out sooner than anticipated. Instead of having a release date some time in early 2022, the movie is actually now set for a release date some time in December of 2021, which is four months sooner than expected. Needless to say, the movie is an anticipated one that many fans have been looking forward to ever since they heard that it was in development and that we would see it within just a couple of years time. Now it seems we will all have the chance to see it much sooner than we ever imagined despite so many other films being pushed back.
