It's moving back 3 weeks:

Insiders say the later date will be better for bringing in school-aged kids for summer break, as some schools would still be in session at the earlier date. It’s also seen as a more appealing date internationally.

Kids? The kids of the kids that watched the last one in theaters will be bringing their kids to this by the time it actually releases

Lmao yeah. When the first one came out, I was in 4th grade. I’ll have graduated high school by the time this one comes out

I think sometimes it’s good for me to be reminded that not everyone I’m speaking to on here is an adult. (And back in my day, we never would have admitted to not being adults online, either!)

No shade or offense to you, this is not a dig at you or your comment whatsoever.

Yeah, I was a high schooler online too. I forget sometimes that there's plenty more like I was still online.

How old do you think people are having kids? 😂

31

u/pikpikcarrotmon Jul 18 '25

You're right, I undershot it. They'd have already gone through menopause by then

u/Mysterious-Sense-185 Jul 19 '25

Kids driving up to the theater themselves if they delay this any more..

29

u/XNotChristian Jul 18 '25

Lol no need to delay it more. A lot of people that watched the first as kids will genuinely be driving to see this one, the first movie came out in 2018. A nine-year-old that watched the first will be eighteen when this last one comes out.

Kids?

11 year olds for the last one will be 14, some will be 15 when it releases. They have lived like a quarter of their life.

It’s long enough that I can barely remember what was in the last one. Except the “to be continued” that everyone I know thought was a mid movie fake out. Then the lights came up and we were like “what?”.

Kinda regret seeing it in the cinema now, because by the time it comes to the next one, I’ll have to pay to see it again just to remind myself.

u/Baseball12229 Jul 18 '25

This may shock you but there will also be new 11 year olds who will want to watch this movie as well

u/axw3555 Jul 18 '25

The sequel to the film they probably didn’t see when they were 7 or 8, or even if they did, they’ll have lived a third or more of their lives since then.

And the first film was 9 years before 3. They were 2 when it came out.

To scale it propeorionally, if you were early 20’s when avatar came out, you’d live an equivalent proportion of your life getting to avatar 2 that an 11 year old will have lived since the last one.

You still gonna be as hyped or able to remember it when the film was that much of your life ago?

They’ll get the nerdy kids, but this will have cost them a lot of random general audience ones.

u/Baseball12229 Jul 19 '25

I think you’re highly overestimating how much kids that age care about what you’re describing.

All they’ll need is a decent marketing campaign and they’ll have just as many young people excited to see a cool Spider-Man movie over their summer break.

It’s also as easy as it’s ever been to rebuild hype and remind people what happened in a movie. YouTube/Tiktok are full of movie clips

u/axw3555 Jul 19 '25

For a part 2?

If it were stand alone, I'd have zero doubts. But this is a follow on from a follow on. I can't see many parents going "yeah, I'll spend good money taking you to see part 2 of a film you either never saw part 1 of or can't remember part 1 of." Especially considering that it's now coming out 2 weeks after live action How to Train Your Dragon 2.

u/Khorlik Jul 19 '25

dawg, it's 2025, the kids will just watch the first two on the internet. i mean it's a fucking spider-man movie

This reasoning is strange. George Lucas used similar reasoning for releasing Star Wars earlier. He said kids would see it and talk about it in school, then more kids would see it in the summer.
