Does "Vaporware" apply to movies also?

It is no secret that movie companies are always going against each other by scheduling their movie release dates to either have no competition or to take away from the competition. In the US there are some holiday weekends that infamous for movie releases, like July 4th & Memorial Day, but lately there has been a growing trend of movie companies announcing planned release dates well into the future.

Sometimes those dates are for movies that have not even been written yet let alone made.

Sony has May 2, 2014, as the release date for the next Amazing Spider-Man movie sequel. To clarify, Amazing Spider-Man is the new Spider-Man movie reboot of the franchise that will be coming out soon. The May 2, 2014, is for the sequel to that movie. The Hunger Games won't be released until March 23, 2012, but its sequel is already slated for November 22, 2013. Something will be released by Disney in the Marvel franchise on May 16, 2014, and on June 27, 2014. Nobody knows what yet, but it will be a Marvel movie. Same with Pixar on May 30, 2014. Some movie will be released but nobody knows what yet.

With software a product release schedule like that would be called "vaporware" since it doesn't really exist and is just hype. It is a play on the words "vapor" and "software" and was coined many years ago with companies trying to one-up each other.

So what do you think, can movies be vaporware also? Can you think of any movies that were hyped but never actually released?
