The people who made that poster are hacks for not taking their own photograph of New York from above.

It says "What do we do with this corpse?" and the title is basically "Big Kaiju Cleanup," so I think it's actually about the pros who do corpse disposal.

I don't speak Japanese but I do know the Japanese word for explosion, so the trailer makes me think it's basically the 1970 Whale Explosion Incident but with a giant monster instead of a whale.

Is it the anniversary of that exploding whale or something? This is the third or fourth time I've seen it posted in the past week or two.

The impression I got is that

1 - clearing up a giant monster body is a bureaucratic headache, with arguments over what sort of waste it is. The trailer has different ministers pondering if it's "ocean waste," "burnable waste," or "non-burning," the latter two being different categories of household waste.

2 - the monster's corpse causes internal gas build-up that could potentially cause a catastrophic explosion, so they have to work out how to dispose of the body while the clock is ticking

It's usually a pretty ominous sign, but who knows with the Chinese film industry.

There are exceptions of course, like Cabin in the Woods. How long was that one sitting on a shelf for, again?

Delays like that almost always mean the movie is a piece of poo poo and they've been trying to stitch it together for so long they've gone completely blind. Like the still unreleased Chinese film Empires of the Deep.

Cabin in the Woods was reportedly delayed due to United Artist's financial difficulties (but probably also because MGM had no loving clue how to market it).

I thought cabin was the same situation as the red dawn remake where mgm went bankrupt and it delayed the release (among other issues red dawn had)
