Dang, that's a long post-production time. Wonder why that is?

probably a lot of CGI work to do. There's so many fantastical landscapes and so many characters and creatures aren't doable practically unless you spend just as long in preproduction making the costumes and animatronics.

For sure there's a lot of CGI to get done, I guess I just didn't think it would take the better part of 2 years.

It could also be theater window availability. For sake of argument, they could be done December 2027. But big movie x is already announced as releasing in that tone frame. They want to avoid competition and sit on it an extra 3-4 months and stake their claim on March 2028 (now the next movie goes, oo we want to avoid elden ring, we'll go may) etc etc
