Yahoo Movies ‘The Lovebirds’: Issa Rae-Kumail Nanjiani Paramount Comedy Moved Back By A Month
Paramount’s romantic comedy The Lovebirds is fleeing the nest. The film has been moved from its announced March 6 wide-release date to April 3.
Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani star as a couple on the brink of breaking up who get unintentionally embroiled in a bizarre murder mystery. As they get closer to clearing their names and solving the case, they need to figure out how they, and their relationship, can survive the night.

The untitled sequel to A Quiet Place moved up from May 15 to March 20, and Playing with Fire jumped up from March 20 to November 8 — the slot Sonic the Hedgehog gave up earlier today.
