Goddamnit.
Yeah, very lame. I mean we know this movie isn't gonna set the world on fire. My expectations are it would be like the first one pretty fun but nothing like I said to set the world on fire. However, just to add the 3D makes me concerned it might be really bad.

Lame indeed. Lame move for a movie that most likely will be lame.

That's pretty ____ing stupid given there've already been trailers and posters sent out that have the June 29th release date on it.
Are there any other sources saying the 2D release was postponed? That link was the only place I could find anything.

You'd think they'd release it now to recoup some of the loss from BlunderShip.

Wow--this is a really big surprise. It was supposed to come out next month!

When a film suddenly gets moved from the middle of the summer to march, that is bad news. I bet this thing tanked with test audiences.

Yup, that's guaranteed to turn it from a sinker into a floatie that won't flush.
Watch them re-write and reshoot the movie so Channing Tatum's awful Duke doesn't get killed off anymore. And I'm not joking. It doesn't take 9 months to do a 3D conversion. And no studio will punt a major Summer film this close to its release. Also, think about all the licensed tie-ins that were ready to go (some toys even already hitting distribution). Something else is most definitely afoot here.
This movie is now squarely back on Disaster Watch.
What a joke.

We know the director disliked that aspect of RoC. So that would be extremely interesting.

There's no way it's just a 3-D conversion that's causing this move. If that were the case they'd just shift it to later in the summer or delay it til next summer. A hyped summer action film doesn't suddenly get moved to ____ing March unless it's a total dogturd.
Yep. I'm betting on wholesale reshoots, probably for the worst.
And I can't help but think this has a lot to do with BATTLESHIP being dead in the water. Paramount/Hasbro couldn't deal with 2 huge box office disasters within a month.

Crap or not though, this would've easily pulled $50mil opening weekend. RoC was total ____ing garbage and that made over $300mil when all was said and done. With Johnson and Willis, this would've done that on name recognition alone.

Which makes you wonder just how bad this thing must be if considering all of that, they still thought moving it to the wastelands of march was the better option.
