[youtube id=aj8mN_7Apcw]
Trailer debut: December 8th 2017
Original release: July 20th 2018
New release: February 14th 2019
Difference: 210 days
Between trailer and release: 434 days
Reasons: Was first delayed to December 21st, presumably for extra CG work and remodelling to make the title character less uncanny than she looked in the teaser trailer. The second delay, however, was to avoid the risk of being cannibalised by heavy competition including Aquaman, Bumblebee, Mary Poppins Returns and Welcome to Marwen, delaying Dark Phoenix to June 7th just a day after the trailer dropped to better its success in China and have Alita take its place. A PG-13 re-release of Deadpool 2 took its place so that Fox could drop a December release without panic over box office returns.
Benefits: Thankfully, audiences did not have to worry about overload in the Christmas season, and Fox didn't have to worry about any impending failure that Alita may have caused them had they kept the release. However, it was a surprise success in foreign markets and developed a cult following.
Flaws: This is the second Fox release to have a trailer in 2017 and not officially open until 2019, and the film already had a trailer released every time it was delayed. It inevitably flopped in the US box office.

Max the Movie Guy added 1 item to Movies according to my dreams list
I managed to see footage of this film before anyone else. Young Han and Chewie were walking down a marketplace that appeared to be pretty goddamn Disney-fied. Plenty of merch at this place despite taking place on a planet inhabited mostly by alien creatures; one shop had a redrawn Disney logo, one sold little Carmen Got Expelled plushies despite it not being picked up to series (they appeared to be custom-made anyway), and the signpost had a picture of a random Naโvi with the Avatar logo below him, which wasnโt just a Disney-Fox reference, it flat-out hinted at a possible connection to the world of Pandora. Things just arenโt the same without Lord and Miller and so little creative freedom...
