Yes, it has to be moved to avoid being crushed by the bohemoth-like franchises, but you'll never convince me that it has to be moved THAT far. Hell, move it forward three weeks.
Moving it forward three weeks would mean the movie would have to be completed at least three weeks earlier, which might be a major problem.
I couldn't find much I would label as competition past mid-July, BUT there are a LOT of films on the schedule (a lot of sure-to-be crap films, sure, but still a crowd).
Then it just comes down to just a four to six week period and I'm not going to second-guess the studio for that.
Something else to look at would be what else Universal has coming out and when. I have no idea there and have a paper to write, so not looking it up right now, but that's gonna be a factor.

No wonder my HSX stocks for Serenity has been falling..
Damn, Sky Captain came out in September too and it didn't do great.

Arawaen,
I'm new on this site, but I'm with you. Another morning in Australia, and looks like it wasn't something I'd dreamed up. Very sad.
Really like your Byron quote, by the way. Thanks. That'll keep me goin for a little while.

No kidding. I'm afraid to log in now and see just how much of a hit it took. The loss as of this morning was more than enough.

I think Doc said it best....
"Damn. Damn, Damn, Damn!"
I don't ask for much - just Firefly back on the air once a week.... oh, and maybe world peace.

This news knocked all the air out of me and left me so rutting disappointed but then thinking on the up side I have to believe that the September date will be the shinier option in the long run. Let's make every gorram day count in the run up to the new release date and hope it doesn't get moved again. So long as we Keep Flyin', Ali D :~)

Aw man! I'm gonna be in college by then! You know what that means? No money. This sucks! This Spril, I was planning on going to see it like a ton of times, but by then, I'll be just another poor college kid with hardly the money to buy one ticket. Seeing Tenacious D on the line up made me smile for like half a second, but this just sucks. I understand why they're doing it and everything, but there are a lot of fans out there that would go to see it regardless what else is playing. Now I don't get to even go with my family in my home town because I'll be far far away in college. I wanted to see this movie with my brother because we're the only ones in my house who watch it. *sigh*

Hrm...5 months from Nov. 22 is...April 22...hrm.
So I got to wait 5 months? I certainly hope this is a bad bad joke...though if it isn't, my birthday is 9/24, so I could be happy...but damn, that is like almost a YEAR away...excuse me, I think I have to go shoot some F*x execs, this is all indirectly their fault.

Can I roll the calendar back a few months and make it September 20, 2004? See, they didn't say which YEAR it was going to be released and I for one intend to raise a ruckus about the fact that it should have been released ALREADY and it's LATE!!
