Pacific Rim 2, Warcraft, & The Mummy Release Dates Pushed Back

For those of you dying to see Pacific Rim 2 or the Warcraft movie or The Mummy reboot, your wait got a bit longer.

Today, Universal Pictures has announced that the release dates for Pacific Rim 2, Warcraft and The Mummy have all been pushed back.

Warcraft, which is a film adaptation of the popular video game series from Blizzard Entertainment, is being moved from March 11, 2016 to June 10, 2016. Director Duncan Jones announced that principal photography had wrapped months ago on the project and much of the post-production time will be spent on extensive computer-generated images for the characters and sets. You would have to assume that Universal is moving from March to avoid Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Though, Universal isn't shying away from action as the new summer release date implies they still have a lot of confidence in it.

Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim 2, which got the greenlight last year, has been moved from April 2, 2017 to August 4, 2017. This was probably done to move it away from Universal's other big-budget film Fast and Furious 8 (April 14).

The Mummy reboot, which is the second film in Alex Kurtzman and Chris Morgan's planned cinematic monster universe, has been moved from June 24, 2016 to March 24, 2017.
