Update on the #BirdsofPrey title change: It's apparently for display/search purposes only for vendors and theaters, not an official title change. Just to clarify for those of you writing about it. 🤷🏻♀️

Now now now, you know twitter let's not let facts get in the way of agendas some have.

I wouldn't blame Twitter for this one. The name was changing across major vendors and, granted, some deeper research might have been warranted, but this should have been put out with an official statement to avoid the confusion.

So how is this different from an official title change? Are theater chains like AMC not supposed to list the movie under the revamped title in public? And have there been other instances of a change like this?

1. The title will be the original everywhere else and on record 2. Theaters now can display the new title if it helps with search (or the studio directly requests it) 3. Not this exact scenario for a tentpole (that I can think of but I could absolutely be wrong)

The sad part is I think the real issue is movie goers just aren’t giving it a chance. Title change won’t help it none.
