"Bullet Train" is leaving the station a little later than expected. Damn these pesky train schedules — now the wait to see Brad Pitt kick butt as a dangerous assassin is even longer! Thankfully, this isn't one of those lengthy pandemic-fueled delays, "Bullet Train" is only being pushed back by a single week, premiering in theaters on August 5, 2022 instead of on July 29. The film will screen in premium large formats and IMAX. This strategic move from Colombia Pictures puts another week of distance between this and another highly anticipated IMAX blockbuster — Jordan Peele's "Nope." Keeping away from the cloud and/or alien-infested fright-fest is a pretty good idea, given all the excitement surrounding Peele's third time in the director's seat. More significantly, this puts "Bullet Train" at a distance from most of the major summer blockbusters and guarantees the film a few more of those premium screens, all the way through Labor Day. Unless you count Jo Koy's "Easter Sunday" or the mysterious Owen Wilson comedy "Secret Headquarters," as far as major blockbusters are concerned, Pitt's turn as an assassin will close out the summer movie season.
