The Priest was scheduled to release last year but got postponed due to COVID-19. It later fixed a February 2021 date but got further pushed to March. It is reported that the makers wanted to wait for the government to announce 100% occupancy at the theatres so the movie stays economically viable. The film has managed to generate good word of mouth.
