‘Godzilla Vs. Kong’ Jumps Up To March 26 In HBO Max & Theatrical Debut

Warner Bros, in the wake of making good with Legendary on the simultaneous release of Godzilla vs. Kong in theaters and on HBO Max, will be releasing the movie on March 26 instead of May 21.

It was reported last Friday that Warner Bros and financier Legendary, which owns a majority of the movie, avoided a legal entanglement over the former’s decision to take its entire 2021 slate and throw it day-and-date on its frosh streaming service HBO Max. Warners had blocked a $200M bid by Netflix to acquire the monster mash movie.

A settlement over whether Denis Villeneuve’s Dune goes theatrical and HBO Max day-and-date is still being hashed out between WarnerMedia and Legendary. That movie currently has a October 1 release date.
