10 Big 2016 Movies That Were Meant To Come Out Last Year

8. The Brothers Grimsby

The Movie: We're spoilt for choice with British spy spoofs at the moment? After the surprise box office success of Kingsman, here comes another one from Borat and the guy who was in Kingsman! Mark Strong and Sacha Baron Cohen are brothers, a spy and a football hooligan respectively, who must team up to stop some evil plot. Expect, well, Kingsman style parody mixed with Baron Cohen's more out-there humour. Original Release Date: 31st July 2015 Second Release Date: 26th February 2016 Third Release Date: 4th March 2016 Final Release Date: 11th March 2016 Why Did It Change? The Brothers Grimsby is one of several movies on this list that was moved to the early months of 2016 and has been shifted around multiple times in the pre-blockbuster calendar to adjust to competition (keep an eye out for this happening throughout the article). The reasoning behind the first move isn't clear - it's likely to do with a lengthy post-production, although the proximity to Kingsman (and retro spy thriller The Man From U.N.C.L.E. may have played into it).
