Strays has been postponed until August

The beginning of June is a very busy time for moviegoers, as Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse kicks off the month, then Transformers: Rise of the Beasts debuts a week later, and everything was there before The Flash arrived the week after. It goes without saying that it’s been dangerous territory, which is why it’s no surprise to hear Strays, the comedy-drama starring Will Ferrell and Jamie Foxx’s Abandoned Dog comeback, has been delayed for a few Strange months.

As it stands, Strays only needs to challenge Blue Beetle in the mid-August window, which means it is more likely to gain ground at the box office.
