There are a lot of movies with that title. Someone posted the posters of a few of them on Twitter. All of them were forgettable so they just need to make a movie so good and popular that no one else would dare to use the title anymore in the future! 😉 Yes, I realize that there were others, but this one just came out. And I also think it’s a bad idea to re-use the name of forgettable movies. It’s not like it’s such a fabulous name to begin with. It brings to mind the various couriers we used at the office where I used to work, so I’m expecting it to be a thriller about FedEx, UPS, Purolator and DHL.

LOL. TBH I don't know if it's good or bad. Most people didn't watched that 2019 movie so it's not like they will mix them up but I guess as there are many movies with that name people could see it as something more generic. We will see!

Personally, don't care what the title is. That isn't what is important to me. What I care about is seeing BC in action. I love this kind of historical based film, I love the concept of examining the everyday man in an extraordinary situation, I love the opportunity to see BC flex his acting muscles. They can call it anything they want to - just make sure it is accessible to as many people as possible (by any means necessary in these unusual times) and for me, that's what really counts!
As for title associations, Ironbark or The Courier... I associate Ironbark with trees, trees that have a high BTU and burn well (my dad grew them on our farm for firewood) and The Courier, I associate with spies from the Cold War (guess that shows my age). So I would say the latter is kind of more appropriate from my personal perspective.

So I would say the latter is kind of more appropriate from my personal perspective. I don't mind if they change the title but "The Courier" isn't very compelling. And I was used to think of the movie as Ironbark.
My grandfather planted some euclyptus at his house (his front garden was like a little eucalyptus forest) and at my house's back garden there was also one. The memory I have of it (I don't remember very well my grandparents house -it was a "summer" house- the rest of the year they lived in another neighbourhood) is how much it eroded the soil. Nothing grew nearby. During some time I used to water it constantly trying to get some grass to grow - I was a child- unsuccessfully. In the city there are some parts, luckily not many, where eucalyptus were planted and all around them nothing grows. In the city I lived in Sao Paulo there was a little forest of them also with almost no plants or even grass around them.
This is how the soil looks near them.
Now, the smell around them is very good.

The big problem with the name, for me, is that it sounds like a movie that sort of already came out last year - which, in a way, it is! Will audiences want to see a movie that came to theatres, wasn’t successful, and then got re-released? I will gladly see anything that Benedict does, so of course I will see it. But I worry that other people won’t be interested.

I saw a conversation on Twitter about movie titles and someone mentioned that TIG was called "El Codigo Enigma" in Latin America and I think it made me to understand why I wasn't bothered too much as others for the change: most foreign movies are re-named here with the most awful titles in Spanish so it's not new to me! 😉
Also, I don't see how it could affect the movie itself. Maybe it could affect it in the USA but not here!

They just delayed Tenant to early August! We will see what happens in July but sadly things doesn't seem getting better!
