This week, the studio opted to shift A Star is Born from a May 18 release date to a release date later in the year.
So, if A Star is Born can compete during awards season, that might be a better fit than trying to stand out in May, although October will also feature the release of Venom.
THR notes that the decision came after people at the studio saw a cut of A Star is Born.
The movie will now hit theaters on October 5, 2018, a time of year when names and movie titles start popping up as potential awards contenders.
