The move is designed to allow the film to make more money.

“Balls of Fury” writer/director Robert Ben Garant and writer/co-star Thomas Lennon hyped it at Comic-Con while Rogue “blanketed [attendees] with ... men’s briefs and state-of-the-art paddles”.

The finished film was screened in its entirety for the Comic-Con audience.

“When we saw how well the movie played at Comic-Con, we realized there’s even more potential audience ... if we open a couple days earlier,” said Jack Foley, president of theatrical distribution for Rogue.

He added in the statement: “We will have the equivalent of two days of sneak previews and word of mouth as we head into the lucrative Labor Day holiday weekend play period.”
