Technically, if one took only the officially announced dates, it was changed 2 times - Bruckheimer only said he "hoped" for a 2016 release, and no one else really mentioned such a date(not even Disney), but obviously that is not the case with this announcement. Admittedly, it's not really important, but felt I need to add the correction.

As much as I like to say there will be no more delays ever again in film history, that'd be a lie...and it can happen with any film. Getting back to the main topic, I'm sure they're going to try and keep the 2017 release. However, no matter how many times it's been delayed already, another delay isn't impossible. As fans, all we can do is just wait and see how things play out in the next year or so.
