IIRC Spielberg has done this a few times, notably War Of The Worlds. According to wiki it began filming in November 2004, wrapped in March 2005, and was released in June that same year.

Wow, those special effects are truly impressive if that’s the case

It's infamous in VFX circles as one of the shows that hugely inflated studios' expectations of how much work was achievable in a tiny timescale. Of course it was only possible because of some of the genius talent involved, many of whom had worked together for years, and Spielberg having a crystal clear vision for what he wanted, which all the subsequent rushed post schedules utterly failed to replicate!

It also helped that Spielberg shot all of the VFX heavy sequences first, to give ILM as much time as possible to complete the film. Even still, it was noted at the time that the film was still shooting when they dropped the Super Bowl ad that had completed visual effects in it.

That would definitely make sense.
If there’s one director I would say has a clear vision of what he wants and has extensive knowledge of working with VFX, it’s Spielberg

He also made The Post quickly after wrapping up Ready Player One.
