The movie "Hitman: Agent 47" release date, which was based on the top selling video game series by Square Enix, would no longer be in February of 2015, but instead, the film will hit cinemas on August 28, 2015.

According to Movie Newz, the 20^th Century Fox studio bumped the "Hitman: Agent 47" release date, which was initially scheduled to be released on Feb. 27, 2015.

The $30-million-dollar budgeted film did not exactly bomb at the worldwide box-office. In fact, it still garnered a considerable $69 million dollar profit. However, both the fans and critics' reaction was so underwhelming that 20^th Century Fox had to change course, and turn the "Hitman 2" sequel into a reboot instead. The studio did not add any more details or reasons why the release of the film was delayed.
