Fans may not be thrilled by the news that Mila Kunis and Channing Tatum's "Jupiter Ascending" release date has been moved to 2015.

According to Hallels, the "Jupiter Ascending's" release date was postponed to February 6, 2015. The original release date of the space adventure flick was supposed to be in 2014.

The report identified financial and marketing issues behind the launching bump. The epic intergalactic saga, which the Wachowski brothes of "The Matrix Trilogy" fame directed, ran into budget problems concerning the huge amount required to finish all 2,000 special effects incorporated into the film, along with problems in creating an effective marketing campaign for its release.

Christian Post corroborated this information by featuring the statement from Dan Fellman, the head of domestic distribution for Warner Bros., which contained those exact details explaining the delay of the film's release.

However, speculations regarding the postponement of "Jupiter Ascending" release date vary.

Hallels surmised that with so much work going into the process of perfecting the movie, fans have much more to expect from the latest the "Jupiter Ascending" release date announcement. One of the areas reportedy worth waiting for are the striking visual effects that it will be used to execute some of the scenes in the sci-fi flick. Nevertheless, they added that the use of stunning visuals could not be used as an excuse for a poorly written tale.

But there were others that speculated it may have a lot to do with the two big films slated for release in July and August 2014: "Transformers 4" and "Guardians of the Galaxy." They say that being sandwiched between these two much-anticipated flicks, which have already gained a huge following prior to their release date, may affect the standing of "Jupiter Ascending" in the box office.

The stars description of the movie gave a positive assurance of sorts. According to Douglas Booth, who portrays the role of Titus Abrasax in the flick, "Jupiter Ascending" is more like a combination of "Star Wars" and "The Matrix." Mila Kunis, who plays the lead role of Jupiter Jones, shared that the plot of the movie delves into the subject of constant indulgence.
