Bet test screening came back and they knew it wasn’t going to be summer blockbuster they want.

I bet Ryan and his wife are absolute egotistical manipulators whose reputations have hit an all time low

January does actually get some really good movies. For example. Send Help, Companion, Missing, Plane, Primate, Cloverfield, Mama, Split But this wont be one of them

"Animal Friends” has been hopping around the schedule like a fluffle of rabbits. First set for Aug. 15, 2025 through Columbia, it moved to Warner Bros., which skedded the hybrid film for Oct. 10, then May 1 and June 5." This thing is DOA. They should just release it straight to streaming. Sony didn't want it and now WB clearly don't want to release it either.

Funny thing is these lead actors would probably be solid for a little streaming hit. Just put it out of its misery.

Actually the one exception I can think of is The Gentlemen. What a great movie. But the rest is always straight ass

Great movie. But there have been other good January movies Send Help this year included Others included. Cloverfield, Split, Mama, Primate, The Beekeeper, Plane, Missing. Those are off top of my head

Never has there been such an obvious DOA than this. Feel bad for those involved because this is likely a disaster.

Momoa is the rock with hair at this point

Tbf, at least Momoa didn't have an ego of the Rock and is willing to beat up more times than him.

I think he’s only slightly more versatile - and that’s not saying much. Also excited to see him as Lobo in Supergirl.

mrwho25 Mar 28, 2026 +1
Yeah, I liked him in Dune but otherwise he's pretty meh

TheMostUnclean Mar 28, 2026 +9
I’m also thinking he’s going to be perfect as Lobo in Supergirl.

At least our cinema chain here in Thailand might remove it from the "kids cinema" release schedule. FYI The kids cinemas here have lower volume, brighter lights so it's not as dark, a playground, a slide that goes down the length of the cinema and a ball pit inside.

Who gives a shit? That's when Beekeeper 2 comes out.

An R rated animated/live action hybrid is going to have a hard enough time, calling it Animal Friend won't help

Will this film ever release?

Isn’t that ‘Sheep Detectives’ movie coming out in May?  Maybe that’s tracking pretty decently, and the studio knowing they’ve got a turkey that also features famous actors voicing animals just wants to move it off the 2026 financial report.

Bet it’ll move yet again

2027 feels like ages away, but with that cast, it might be worth the wait. hope they bring the comedy vibes!
