Reply to comment by nayapapaya in Taika Waititi's Next Film 'Next Goal Wins' Moves to September 22, 2023 Release Date – Starring Michael Fassbender by SanderSo47

It is a touch early from a more traditional October date but as the article points out the date likely points to a TIFF (or maybe Venice Film Festival) debut which is a big launching point for awards season

Isn't September usually indie season and a minor dump month? Granted, it's not as bad as January-Feburary, but most low budget movies usually get thrown there while Oscar-worthy indies are released just before horror season in October.

Yeah for us common folk. All the Oscar films have screenings for various awards bodies all throughout September already

True, us poor common folk just have to see the early reactions on Twitter and Letterboxd before getting to see the Oscar films in November-December. And then that one movie that gets an early release in January before voting closes.
