Yeah, all signs point to this one being a mess.

How is Cloverfield a shared universe? Seems like it's just random sci-fi movies with the word "Cloverfield" stuck in the title.

Only small Easter eggs so far, they suggested Cloverfield was supposed to be a Twilight Zone or Black Mirror type thing with monsters, not necessarily shared.

What do Cloverfield and the Minnesota Vikings have in common?

Neither one will be playing February 4, 2018.

Delays.

And it's not like this is some independent feature that doesn't have distribution. For Paramount to just say "nah, not worth it" is kind of telling... if this is even true.

The last one was $15 million budget and had a BO 110mil. Why wouldn't they want to do the same?

2012 script that finished filming in mid-2016, and now it looks like distribution may change hands at the last moment. Those are signs of a problematic release.

The only real "Maybe that isn't a bad thing" is the same thing happened between Paramount and Netflix for the release of The Little Prince -- in terms of last minute distribution changes. And it's also a fairly low budget film (about the price of an episode of any high end TV show), so it shouldn't disrupt much either way, it's possible Paramount just doesn't want to spend the advertising money for it.

Rumors are circulating that a trailer for this will air during the Super Bowl, and the movie itself will be released immediately following the game on Netflix.

That would be a interesting move.

Deadline says it might be released later tonight on Netflix.

Is Netflix Planning The Ultimate Super Bowl Surprise With ‘Cloverfield’ Sequel?

EXCLUSIVE: We already told you that Paramount/Bad Robot’s Cloverfield sequel was getting acquired by Netflix, and that a Super Bowl spot is expected to air during the Big Game, however, we’re now hearing that the J.J. Abrams produced movie will be available to stream immediately following the end of the Big Game. A TV spot for the film is scheduled to drop around the end of the first quarter and inform fans about the pic’s availability tonight.

Should all of this occur, it would rep a groundbreaking, unprecedented move by a studio in its use of P&A: Netflix would literally be promoting a movie before TV’s biggest audience of the year (last year’s Super Bowl drew an average of 111.3M) and then promptly releasing the title after the game. Today will be the first time we’ve seen any footage or images from the movie.

No other streaming service has ever pulled off this type of stunt, nor released a movie with such immediacy. Millennial audiences love surprises and this type of marketing maneuver is right up their alley. For many months this Cloverfield movie went by the title God Particle.

The title sounds like a Big Bang Theory episode...

Netflix has annihilated the playing field. This is a big deal.

Not really. Plot is standalone. But, it does have a wink wink tie in to the original movie.
