"Godzilla Vs. Kong" Release Date Delayed by One Week

On Tuesday, Warner Bros. rescheduled the release date of "Godzilla vs. Kong" back by one week.

Now, “Godzilla vs. Kong” will debut on March 31 simultaneously in movie theaters and on HBO Max, where it will be available on the streaming platform for 31 days.

The epic crossover pits the two titans together and will arrive internationally, where HBO Max is not available, ahead of North America, on March 26.

Warner Bros. also added James Wan’s horror movie “Malignant” back to the calendar, setting the thriller for September 10.

The film's latest delay comes in response to news that MGM was postponing James Bond sequel “No Time to Die” from April 2 to October 8, and Sony’s “Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway,” which had also been set for April 2, was delayed to June.

“Godzilla vs. Kong” stars Alexander Skarsgard, Millie Bobby Brown, Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, Shun Oguri, Eiza Gonzalez, Kyle Chandler, Demián Bichir, and others.

It is directed by Adam Wingard and written by Max Borenstein and Eric Pearson.

“Godzilla Vs. Kong” is the sequel to 2014’s “Godzilla”, and 2017’s “Kong: Skull Island”.

Warner Bros. announced in December that it plans to release its entire 2021 movie slate on HBO Max and in theaters simultaneously to appeal to a wider audience amid the coronavirus pandemic.
