It's interesting to me that the delay was not due to a technical issue with the movie (ie necessary reshoots), but solely for marketing purposes.
To me this says two things:
I'm hopeful this means that the studios will knuckle under soon, but pushing it out to March means the studios could be planning a whole extra three months of jerking their employees around.
As an aside, I know they had already started releasing trailers before the delay was announced, so I'm wondering what changed internally that they think the marketing will no longer work. Did testing prove they need actor promotion? Or did they think they could crush the strike previously and realize they couldn't? Either way, this is a very interesting case.
