Mark Wahlberg comedy Instant Family moves up to November Happy Turkey Day! According to The Hollywood Reporter, the upcoming Mark Wahlberg and Rose Byrne comedy Instant Family is making a huge jump from its initial February 2019 release date to November 16 of this year, just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday. According to the report, the film secured some of the highest test scores of any Paramount film in the past decade and the studio believes the family comedy has the potential to find similar box office success as The Blind Side and Wonder, which were similarly released around the same time period in 2009 and 2017, respectively. In the film, when a couple decides to start a family, they are inspired to pursue adoption through the foster care system.
