There’s a biased reasoning that if the movie is getting shelved it must be a terrible movie. It’s entirely possible that these movies are fine, even better than some which have been released, but there’s some accounting or tax benefit to shelving them. If it’s saving them money one way or another it doesn’t have to make sense.
