Legendary Pictures announced Friday it will move the new King Kong Skull Island film to a new date and away from the Nov. 4, 2016.

If that dates sounds familiar, it’s because Marvel announced “Doctor Strange” for the same time. On Friday, Legendary announced a new title for the film, “Kong: Skull Island” and announced it will move the film to March 10, 2017, one week after Marvel’s “The Wolverine 3” arrives.

Legendary also has “Pacific Rim 2” slated for 2017 and the follow-up to “Godzilla” in 2018.

ScreenRant.com also reported that Legendary’s untitled film about the Great Wall of China will hit theaters on Nov. 23, 2016.
