It's bad news for everyone but me, now I can (hopefully) see it at the 7pm "day before" showing on my birthday.

If the November date holds, then barring the tournament being rescheduled to the winter, the film shouldn't run any risk of clashing with the Euro 2020 tournament.

Yay for November birthdays!
I hate to admit it but I'm more disappointed this means a delay in merchandise than a delay in the movie. It's because I don't know if I'm going to like the movie but I know I like what I saw from the 2020 NYTF and was really looking forward to getting that stuff.
Every time the movie is postponed I swear I'm going to use the time to expand my Kenner collection with eBay finds but I don't get to it. Now with this near 10 month delay I'm going to really go for it ... may be. I got some bonus Repro Kenner figures as a gift so at least now I have some I can open.

I'm confident that the disappointment everyone is feeling will vanish when that Columbia logo comes up on the big screen.

The ONLY benefit here is more time to get my pack finished. I’ve been keeping an eye on the Mack’s Factory site for when more prices show up for parts.

Maybe they never filmed a movie and this is all part of some twisted social experiment

In the mean time, for 6 weeks, my local cinema is playing the first three Indy films and the original Star Wars trilogy....so that will keep me going for a bit.

It took 30 years to get it made, on the bright side it is not going to take 30 years to get it released. We just need to keep on staying patient and living off these promotional blips.

At least we can go see Peter Rabbit 2 on June 11th.
That’s the thing I, and I’d guess most of us, tend to forget is when Sony delays something, they delay their whole slate. It’s not just Afterlife. So even if June was looking to be a good date (debatable), Sony made the push because the February and April dates for other films weren’t going to work. So everything bumps back a slot.

Bummer. I probably won't get a chance to see it until December, or even next January, since my theater doesn't ever get movies right away. Unless face-to-face classes have resumed by next semester, because then I'll be in the city and will get a chance to see it in IMAX.

Everyone just cross your fingers for August. The real catch is that it isn't even November we have to worry about -- things have to look good with a long enough lead time for Sony to start the marketing machine. I think three months is probably ideal.

f***.
At least give us a frigging trailer to look forward to. Something. November?? Yeah that’s just what everyone wants to see. A movie about Ghosts right after Halloween.
That’s a stupid, idiotic release date. For Christ sakes, October is right there! It’s a no brainer.
This means we prob won’t see any new footage from this movie until May-June.
f***.
What’s hilarious is “Muncher” is becoming a viral hit with people on Twitter.

I do think it's odd to out a movie about ghosts in November. Reminds me of Disney putting Hocus Pocus out in July. (Gee it flopped financially during summer who would have guessed?)
*sigh*
The part that sucks the most for me is that there's a big fundraiser that's going to feature multiple franchises for a cause very near and dear to my heart.
We have corporate sponsors, raffle items, and even boxes of event specific merchandise gathering dust. (Thankfully none with dates on them) Also a badass Mooglie we can't wait to unveil. Permit paperwork just waiting to be filed. It's gonna be awesome.
Pushing the movie to November though likely means we won't be able to do it until 2022.
That's what makes me sad the most about Afterlife.
However health & safety comes first, and hopefully everything works out for the movie release so we can also get our event going.

"Ok. opening at number 2, to sub 50 million, next to the 2nd weekend of an animated kids movie, is NEGATIVE. Let me just clear that up right now. There is no middle ground on this. Studios DO NOT spend 100 million in marketing money to open at number 2. No sir. No. No. No. No." - Richardless

Hmmm, I get why it needs to be pushed but I don't ave a good feel for that Nov 11th date.
Seems like if cinemas are opened up it's could get sandwiched between other blockbusters and halloween / xmas movies.
At this point though guys the safer bet is on this being a Spring 2022 movie.
