The Nanny Diaries has been delayed from April 20 to September 7.

Well, crap.

A small move, but a smart one.

Honestly, though, can't Live Free or Die Hard very easily co-exist with Transformers, especially if W.O.M. is good?

I think Die Hard should actually move a week earlier against Evan Almighty which surprisingly still has the weekend generally to itself.

However, moving ahead two days is better than nothing.

Shame for Nanny Diaries as it was one of the stronger April titles. However, there has been no marketing so far so a September move isnt too bad. Maybe they can build up a mini Sweet Home Alabam type success.

Really?

Shit!

something tells me LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD will be a big movie and will probably beat F4:ROTSS.

Well, it's actually called 'The Happening'. It's Happening would be an even worse title...

Depending on the marketing, this could open anywhere from $10 to $40 million. I think a lot of people are turned off of Shyamalan now, but if this film looks great, it'll bring them in.

Wasn't "It's Happening" Sign's tagline, as well as a line from the film?

I think thats the perfect release date for The Happening. June isnt all that strong and that seems like a perfect time far enough away from the May films.

I forgot it was Fox producing it. With their marketing, this has the potential to open decently. One of the reasons that The Village and Lady in the Water had such venomous WOM was the misleading marketing - Lady's especially, since WB really dropped the ball. This next one seems more like Signs, which opened huge, so, with some good marketing, a decently big opening isn't out of the question.

Thought:

Does anyone think we should make a new thread where the schedule actually gets updated?

No offense at all to Maverikk, it's just that he doesn't post a great deal anymore so the schedule doesn't really get updated. Anyone want to volunteer? Heh.

^Pros: Someone else can edit their own thread...This thread is getting unneccessarily long...be nice if it was short.

But a mod could just update the first post of this thread.


I'd happily update a new Release Date thread though.

Poor Rachel McAdams fans. She didn't appear in a 2006 movie and now, with Marriage delayed, she won't be in a 2007 one either.

Terrible spot for Rescue Dawn. Just stupid.

It would have been better off on the Adam Sandler Weekend or the Simpsons weekend.

No offense taken. Personally, it's a lot of work, and after the appreciation shown to me, I really can't recommend that it would be in anybody's best interest to go out of their way to do stuff like this for these forums, as it's really not worth it.

If I were to recommend somebody for the job, though, it would be you, Libs. You're on top of this stuff more than anybody else is here, and there were a few updates that you did in this thread when you were a mod.

I don't think so; her other movie, The Return, is still set for release in December.

And thanks Mav, I'll consider it I guess

Lindsay Lohan's new thriller I Know Who Killed Me opens July 27, 2007.
The Brothers Solomon has been bumped back a week to September 7, 2007.

Plot twist: it was a suicide!!!

Thats actually a perfect weekend for it. Never heard of it but I think it will do well as ive been complaining for a while about how weak that weekend is. Even if Simpsons is a moderate hit - there is really not much in that second half of July. Great move.

Maybe they should stick with the end of March Blades spot?

Well, at the the 6/29/07 date is less crowded as two movies chickened out. And good thing too. They would by creamed by Willis and Pixar.

Paramount took it with Owen Wilson bodyguard comedy Drillbit Taylor

Good move for Rendition, November was a bit overcrowded.

Probably not. Unless they are taking a leaf off the Departed's book and opening earlier than the rest of the awards getters. I wouldnt be surprised to see a gradual move away from December as the lauching pad for awards fodder. Not anything new as thats how it used to be.

Captivity has moved to June 22nd
