Warner Bros’ Elvis movie from Baz Luhrmann is going a bit later, with the studio Monday pushing it from June 3, 2022 to June 24, 2022. The pic will be a pure theatrical release, not hybrid day-and-date with HBO Max, as Warner Bros pivots from its pandemic 2021 distribution plan.
Elvis’ departure from the first weekend of June leaves the frame up for grabs for another major studio’s tentpole. On its new date, Elvis squares off with Sony’s Reese Witherspoon production Where the Crawdads Sing.
The news comes following Paramount’s move of Hasbro’s Transformers: Rise of the Beasts from June 24, 2022 to June 9, 2023.
Luhrmann directs, co-wrote and produces Elvis. Screenplay was co-written with Sam Bromell, Craig Pearce and Jeremy Doner off a story by Luhrmann and Doner.

Lore, a grungy rock band that mixes Reed’s mesmerizing vocals with Joamets’ second-nature playing, release their debut single “Surrender” on Tuesday. It’s the first taste of an upcoming self-titled album, produced by Dave Schools and Vance Powell.
A mid-tempo ballad that incrementally builds to Reeds’ howling performance, “Surrender” opens with Joamets’ ring chords. “We’re all just lost souls trying to get free,” Reed sings, before Joamets, the former sideman for Sturgill Simpson,...
