I wonder if there's one title that needs some final sign-off or something that is holding everything up.

I have to do an hour+ of highway driving to get to a 35mm screening of Jackie Brown (humblebrag) in about 15 minutes so it is very important that this comes to a halt

To make matters worse, the full-scale Godzilla parade balloon Toho sent them for the announcement is now roaming Manhattan unchaperoned

If I had any video/photoshop stills I'd totally put up a video of being shown the constant Coming Soon page refreshes on a moviola.

At this point I'm kinda expecting for them to announce a wave of previous titles going out of print instead.

Spider-Man wasn't really dead and would be in the next film. He replied: "But what if I die before it comes out? Then Spider-Man will always be dead to me."
