This isn’t all that surprising. Hot Tub Time
Machine 2 is now foregoing its original December
25th, 2014 release date and moving to February
20th. This makes sense for a few reasons, the
first of which is that it needs to get out of the
way of Seth Rogen and James Franco ‘s The
Interview, which is shaping up to be something of
a comedic juggernaut (at least in terms of my
perception – it feels like awareness is high for
that one). Also telling? My first thought when I
saw this news was, “that was supposed to come
out on Christmas?” It doesn’t feel like they’ve
been aggressively marketing the movie (aside
from the trailer ) and I feel like February is safer
ground for this franchise anyway.
Paramount also moved Scouts vs. Zombies from
that date and placed it on October 30th, 2015,
also a move of confidence in that horror comedy
it looks like. Steve Pink‘s sequel stars Clark
Duke , Rob Corddry, Craig Robinson , and Chevy
Chase , with Adam Scott playing a new part to fill
the void left by John Cusack . Truth? I’ll
definitely be seeing Hot Tub Time Machine 2 in
February.
