Trailer debut: August 22nd 2014
Original release: January 2nd 2015
New release: October 28th 2017
Difference: 1031 days
Between trailer and release: 1164 days
Reasons: Delayed countless times since the trailer was released. Removed from the schedule one month after the trailer's release, moved to April 15th 2016 several months later. When Miramax dropped out of involvement from new ownership, it shifted up two weeks but poor test screenings delayed it to January 6th 2017. It was delayed again, a few weeks before it was intended to finally open, and pushed to June 30th 2017. After those plans failed to materialise, it was removed from the schedule until September, in which it was finally decided that it could be seen on Google Play for free on October 12th 2017, followed by a limited theatrical release on the 28th.
Benefits: Saw an earlier release in Mexico; not a film people were in any way hyped for, and the test screenings further exemplify that. Harvey Weinstein was later fired from his companies after a wide array of sexual assault allegations.
Flaws: This is not only the Weinsteins' worst delay yet, but one of the worst delays in film history. It scored abysmal reviews as a result.

Original release: December 2nd 2016
New release: August 4th 2017
Difference: 246 days
Between trailer and release: 349 days
Reasons: Suffered many delays, the final being due to initial distributor Relativity losing the rights to Avrion Pictures
Benefits: December felt like the least appropriate time to release it
Flaws: It was shot in late 2014, further stretching the gap and leaving the film feeling more outdated; was released as a Netflix original in other territories
