* ReleaseDateChange: No less than ''eight times'', making the picture even unluckier than fellow Fox production ''Film/TheNewMutants'' in that department. First set to be released on November 9, 2019, then was moved to February 14, 2020. However, just a few months before its release, it was moved again by Disney, to September 18, 2020. With the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic occurring in the interim between the two release dates, it was pushed back yet again to February 26th, 2021, followed by a fifth release date of February 12th, a sixth release date of March 12th, a seventh of August 20, and an eighth on December 22, which stuck. Creator/{{Disney}} was contractually obligated to release it theatrically, hence why it wasn't possible to simply release it on video-on-demand or a streaming service.
