No kidding. Especially had they stuck with their original date and guest list.
Perfect timing on the opposite side of the calendar from Christmas. Kids out of school, summer kicking off. Fit into a nice hole among the superhero movie releases: over a month after Endgame's release and a month before Spiderman: Far From Home.
With three weeks to go in mid-May, they didn't seem to have any huge cancellations yet among the announced guests (but I guess who knows?). Things were set up very well for BEC seven months ago -- or so it seemed.
