Amy Adams' The Woman in the Window's release date is pushed back to next year amid confused audiences during test screenings
Disney has delayed the release date of The Woman in the Window, a forthcoming crime drama starring Amy Adams and Gary Oldman, thru next year after audiences reported being confused during test screenings.
The 44-year-old actress stars in the upcoming motion picture, which is adapted from A.J. Finn's hit 2018 novel, produced by Scott Rudin and directed by Joe Wright.
Wright is seeking to re-shoot scenes for five days next month - a time when Amy is available to work - following the poor feedback in trial screenings, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The film is set to be the last from Fox 2000, which Disney obtained this past March; the division's president Elizabeth Gabler noted that the studio was 'dealing with a complex novel' in a statement confirming the delay.
'We tested the movie really early for that very reason,' Gabler said. 'We wanted to make it better, and we've had Disney's full support in doing that.'
