Honestly, this change of the release date was to be expected. Having the film be released on the same weekened as Jurassic World 2 would have been mind-numbingly dumb (even though that's Universal's fault, since, well, they set the release date to that). And going beyond that--Gareth Edwards has (had?) been working on whatever Star Wars thing he was doing, and production for Godzilla 2 hasn't even started yet and it's already halfway through 2016--it would be flat out impossible to make a movie the likes of GODZILLA 2 in so little time.
