some of the voice actors already said the movie ties into the original work.
Sorry but this doesn't make sense to me. how the hell do Naruto and Sakura fall into the genjustu that Tobi activates then? how can the movie begin if its before the lovernin episode then? when Naruto hasn't seen Sakura yet? I mean if the movie came out before that episode wouldn't that mean Sakura chooses Sasuke over Naruto?
is anybody not really pissed off and mad about this?
No, I really don't think Sakura will choose Sasuke over Naruto. I mean... Sasuke doesn't love her. She's realized this, I mean, even if the movie was planned before the lovernin chapter, then Kishi already knows himself about what he's doing with his characters.
Apparently, there's going to be a filler episode in the anime to promote the movie, just like they did for the 3rd & 4th Shippuden movie. And.... it's going to be centered on Sakura, it seems.
https://twitter.com/...194282404851712 It's tentatively called "Road to Sakura" as of the moment. Looks we were all right. The movie is definitely going to have lots of development on Sakura that's been seriously lacking in the manga. And so as not to put Naruto out of the picture, there's going to be NS developments for sure.
As for the filler episode itself, considering how it's being used to promote the movie. I'm willing to bet good money on Kishi being involved in that episode specifically, too.
I think for all those that has been begging for more Sakura development (even if it's outside manga continuity) from Kishi can now officially say HALLELUJAH!!!

YAYYYY
