While 2015 may become the best year for blockbuster movies ever, the crowded field means that there’s going to be a lot of movement in and out of the calendar.

The latest film to move is Terminator 5, the first film in a sequel/reboot trilogy, which is now scheduled for July 1, staking its claim on the Fourth of July holiday.

While this might be good news for Terminator fans, knowing that the film is getting a big push from Paramount, it’s likely to be bad news for those of us who want an Independence Day sequel.

ID4 2 was scheduled for release in 2015, presumably for the July Fourth holiday. But director Roland Emmerich recently suggested that the film could move to 2016.

Paramount’s positioning of Terminator 5 likely means that they know Fox has already made the decision to move the film but hasn’t made it public yet.

If ID4 2 is out, you can be sure that it won’t be the last movie to reposition itself for 2016 and beyond. But at least we know Terminator‘s release date is a little more solid.
