Insiders say Lamar has been on a global tour since April and is still on tour till next month while Parker and Stone have been working on the new season of South Park and insiders say both parties needed more time to focus on the movie given their busy schedules.

This will mark the second time the film has moved dates as it was originally suppose to open this past July but just like with that decision, the move was made due to the Lamar’s tour and the South Park schedule. The plot is under wraps, but it’s billed as an original live-action comedy.

With the film movie off that date, Amazon MGM Studios’ Project Hail Mary starring Ryan Gosling will now be that only major release set to bow that weekend.

Even with the release date moving, ties remain strong between Paramount and the talent especially Stone and Parker who got a shout out on a recent earnings call with the South Park returning with strong ratings for its 29th season.
