  • Contractual Obligation Project: Due to pre-existing contracts (with the likes of HBO), the film couldn't be released on streaming services or video on demand by Disney without releasing it in theaters first. It could've been either put on streaming or premium video on demand otherwise, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
  • Invisible Advertising: No new trailer for the film was released following its initial COVID-induced delay as Disney opted to prioritize The French Dispatch, and even the original trailer did not circulate in theaters in the months preceding its release. What advertising the film did receive in 2021 was largely confined to online promotion and ads on streaming services like Hulu, which only began in the month of October.
  • Missing Trailer Scene: Several scenes that appeared in the trailer were cut from the film, such as:
    • Julia screaming during a nightmare.
    • Lucas tossing a skunk he had killed over to a corner of the attic, where his father starts feeding on it and Lucas runs back downstairs and shuts the door. This scene is not featured in the film since it was only used for marketing.
  • Release Date Change: This film was originally set to be released on April 17, 2020 before being pushed to February 19, 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It's since been pushed to October 29th, 2021.
