Fast & Furious 9 release date has moved again — though this time, only by a day, and it's been brought forward not delayed (thankfully). With F9 ticket bookings opening on Sunday, Universal Pictures silently updated the India release date for the ninth chapter of The Fast Saga to Thursday, September 2. Previously, it was set to open Friday, September 3. Is the studio trying to gain a day on the other big release of the week, Marvel's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings? It would seem so. After all, Fast & Furious 9 has twice been delayed to get away from other films.

In early July, back when cinemas were mostly closed across India, Fast & Furious 9 once again to September 3.

But the studio's wish to avoid new releases — F9 has kicked about globally since late May, thanks to a staggered release that has led to coming to India at the same time.

Universal Pictures has had enough of the delays though, as Fast & Furious 9 is now sticking to its early September slot. Still, it's trying to get a day's headstart on the Marvel movie — and it could use it given audiences can watch F9 at home, while Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is exclusive to cinemas (for now). Weirdly, Universal Pictures India's social media channels are still saying F9 is due September 3, as of Monday morning. And this isn't a paid previews situation. F9 is available all day on Thursday, starting early morning.

Fast & Furious 10 Release Date Announced

Fast & Furious 9 is now out Thursday, September 2 in India in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. It was expected in Kannada as well, but I can't see any screens that are offering that version just yet.

It's a John Cena double-header this week on Orbital, the Gadgets 360 podcast, as we discuss The Suicide Squad, and later, Fast & Furious 9 (from 28:03). Orbital is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music and wherever you get your podcasts.
