Mila Kunis And Channing Tatum's 'Jupiter Ascending' Pushed Back From Summer 2014 Release Date - Wachowskis Delay Movie Until February 2015

Jupiter Ascending, the movie where the Wachowski siblings take American sex symbol Channing Tatum and turn him into an albino hybrid space beast warrior, has been pushed back from its original July 18, 2014, release date to February 6, 2015. This was easily the biggest sci-fi film of 2014, but it looks like it could be the biggest of 2015 now.

Inside sources claim the move of the $150 million movie (which also stars Mila Kunis) was due to the film needing more digital effects work before it can be released.

No matter what the actually reason for the move is, one thing is clear: Jupiter Ascending's new premiere date will almost guarantee box office glory for the Wachowskis. Though it is pushing out fellow Warner Bros. movie Run All Night, starring Liam Neeson, the sci-fi epic is going up against some less than formidable competition.

Deadline reports:

The shift to February now pits Jupiter Ascending against Johnny Depp in Lionsgate's Mortdecai and Universal's fantasy actioner Seventh Son, which ironically endured multiple date changes and millions of dollars in extra fees when its own VFX schedule was thrown into crisis by the Rhythm & Hues bankruptcy.

We're guessing this release date delay will garner plenty of box office money for Jupiter Ascending.

Here is a synopsis of the film:

Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis) was born under a night sky, with signs predicting that she was destined for great things. Now grown, Jupiter dreams of the stars but wakes up to the cold reality of a job cleaning other people's houses and an endless run of bad breaks. Only when Caine (Channing Tatum), a genetically engineered ex-military hunter, arrives on Earth to track her down does Jupiter begin to glimpse the fate that has been waiting for her all along-her genetic signature marks her as next in line for an extraordinary inheritance that could alter the balance of the cosmos.
