The Latest Date Changes

[BanksIsDaFuture]

That's a pretty dumb move for Diary. They just forced Furry Vengeance to move, now they go to a weekend that has about 9 movie opening wide?

This is going to be hilarious if Clash ends up staying on 3/26.

Slight change:

The Last Song 3/31/2010 (from 4/2/2010)

The Clash of the Titans release date change is official

[Buscemi]

And another date change:

The Back-Up Plan 4/23/2010 (from 4/16/2010) (God, why don't they just send this one straight to DVD?)

And another date change:

The Back-Up Plan 4/23/2010 (from 4/16/2010) (God, why don't they just send this one straight to DVD?)

Because I drafted it... That's why!

I always questioned whether two big-budget films like Clash and Dragon would open on the same day. And since DreamWorks owned the last weekend of March last year, I figured it would be Clash to blink first.

So, just to catch up on how March-April look now (for wide releases):

3/5: Alice in Wonderland
3/12: Green Zone, Remember Me, She's Out of My League, Our Family Wedding
3/19: The Bounty Hunter, Season of the Witch, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, The Runaways
3/26: How to Train You Dragon, Hot Tub Time Machine
4/2: Clash of the Titans, Why Did I Get Married Too, Repo Men, The Last Song (3/31.. a Tuesday? Really? Is it Miley's Bday or something?)
4/9: Date Night, The Losers
4/16: Kick Ass, Death at a Funeral
4/23: Macgruber, Wall Street 2, The Back-Up Plan
4/30: Nightmare on Elm Street, Furry Vengeance

Anyone think we're done playing musical chairs?

[Buscemi]

You forgot Brooklyn's Finest on the 5th and Oceans on April 22nd, Shryke.

I expect two more delays to occur: on Our Family Wedding (to another dumping ground month) and on The Losers (to Summer).

Shryke - It's kind of tough to change your movies on the slates now with the prices being incorrect for the Jan-Mar leagues. Plus, without knowing what the correct prices are, you have no way of knowing if you can afford movie after you drop one like Clash of the Titans.

[Shrykespeare]

You're preaching to the choir, Keyser. However, if I remember correctly without checking my notes, you should be able to switch Clash for Dragon with a little minor shuffling. Of course, if you already had that one, you'll have to think of something else.

Don't fret. The end of March is still a ways away. This problem should be fixed (and I say that with as much alacrity as I can muster) long before then.

New release date:

The Kids Are All Right 7/7/2010 (not about The Who, but a comedy with Julianne Moore and Annette Bening)

[Geezer]

I bet its a shit ton worse than the real "The Kids Are Alright."

[Buscemi]

Actually, word at Sundance was pretty good.

[BanksIsDaFuture]

I still expect Repo Men to move, maybe to 4/23 because it's pretty free of any guy-centric movies.

[Buscemi]

New release dates:

The Secret Of Kells 3/12/2010 (this was reported by the film's distributor)
Takers 8/20/2010 (from 5/14/2010)
Easy A 9/17/2010 (surprisingly enough this was not produced by Maxim despite having the same director and studio who did Fired Up, a movie that was basically made to sell issues of Maxim)
Priest 1/14/2011 (from 8/20/2010)
The Roommate 2/4/2011 (from 9/17/2010)
Underworld 4 9/23/2011 (from 1/21/2011)

[Buscemi]

And Repo Men moves up two weeks to 3/19/2010. Could this force another change on that date? My best guess is that Season Of The Witch is pushed back or The Runaways gets reduced to a limited release followed by a later wide date.
