Sony moves around dates for ‘Bad Boys 3,’ ‘The Dark Tower’

Sony moved around a handful of release dates over the weekend, including the dates for Bad Boys 3 and the highly anticipated adaptation of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower.

Bad Boys 3, which will team up Will Smith and Martin Lawrence with director Joe Carnahan, is now slated for release on June 2, 2017, reports Deadline. The film was previously scheduled for release on Feb. 17, 2017.

The Dark Tower franchise will launch on Feb. 17, 2017 instead. It was previously scheduled for a January release, which was a curious decision for an ambitious franchise. The film will star Matthew McConaughey and Idris Elba.

Deadline notes that Sony has also scheduled Barbie, a movie based on the Mattel dolls, for May 12, 2017, which is Mother’s Day weekend.

Sony has a whole crop of franchises growing. The studio might be bringing two of its biggest - Men In Black and 21 Jump Street - together in a crossover movie.
