The Alfonso Gomez-Rejon-directed movie was earlier scheduled to hit the cinema halls on November 24.
As per a report in Deadline, the climate in Hollywood has turned toxic due to multiple allegations of sexual abuse on Weinstein that was expected to kill the film.
Cumberbatch also blasted the media mogul for his misconduct, saying he was "utterly disgusted by the continuing revelations" of Weinstein's actions.
He added, "We need to collectively stand up and support victims of abuse such as the brave and inspiring women who have spoken out against him and say we hear you and believe you."
