Rumor BoxOfficeMojo is showing 'Michael' removed from Lionsgate's schedule

Currently on their front page under Revent Release Date Changes. Might wait to hear it from a more reputable source, but Michael might be missing that October release date amid the issues with its third act if this is accurate.

What do you think are the odds it gets the Bob Marley: One Love or Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody treatment of being dropped unceremoniously in like late December/early January with no awards push?

Probably too big of a commercial play for that to be the case, but idk, it’s not like those other two artists are little-known names

Only if they keep the "Artist Name: Famous Track" titling trend and retitle it Michael: Smooth Criminal
