G.I. Joe: Retaliation Delayed Until 2013
Quote: In a surprising move, Paramount Pictures has delayed the release of their upcoming G.I. Joe: Retaliation until March 29, 2013, a full nine months after its originally planned release date of June 29th.
Part of the postponement allows for the film to undergo a full 3D conversion.
"It is increasingly evident that 3D resonates with movie-goers globally and together with Paramount, we made the decision to bring fans an even more immersive entertainment experience," said Brian Goldner, Hasbro's President and CEO in an official statement.
The new date puts the sequel up against Andrew Niccol's adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's The Host.
Starring D.J. Cotrona, Byung-hun Lee, Adrianne Palicki, Ray Park, Jonathan Pryce, Ray Stevenson, Channing Tatum, Bruce Willis and Dwayne Johnson, G.I. Joe: Retaliation is directed by Jon M. Chu.
In the sequel, the G.I. Joes are not only fighting their mortal enemy Cobra; they are forced to contend with threats from within the government that jeopardize their very existence. http://www.superherohype.com/news/artic ... until-2013Bullshit. They're afraid of getting slaughtered. And June didn't seem right anyways. The film should've opened in March. It's a shame. I was actually looking forward to this.

Well there goes about 30 million worth of marketing they already did. Though March is increasingly a nice spot for a 40-60 million opening for an action film, and for international as well, might be a smart move in the end.

Nine months? You can do a conversion in three. There's going to be a ton of reshoots.

Re: G.I. Joe: Retaliation Delayed Until 2013
It's such a strange move. They had begun an aggressive TV spot campaign and just released a new trailer to fairly considerable nerd-community fanfare. There was absolutely no indication such a move was coming. Films such as Jack the Giant Killer and Gravity were fairly quiet before their big moves. This seemed completely ready to launch.

Re: G.I. Joe: Retaliation Delayed Until 2013
This doesn't seem like a good move at all to me. June isn't that full, especially for men, Independence Day right around the corner, now it's in a less high profile spot in a busy fucking march already. It sounds to me like their not confident, something isn't going well, and they're kind of dumping it. Plus this is a way late move, obviously. I can't believe they waited till almost a month before to decide this.

Re: G.I. Joe: Retaliation Delayed Until 2013
March 2013 is so full it's regurgitating.
June however has a period fantasy epic, an R-rated sci-fi, two animated flicks and a mega-bomb to compete with GI Joe. Stupid move. Most stupid move ever.

Re: G.I. Joe: Retaliation Delayed Until 2013
I liked this comment from over at AICN: Quote: I wish studios would at least lie when they pull shit like this. I wish they'd have an excuse like, "Oh, we came up with a new ending that's just going to make the movie a trillion times better" instead of "Our bean counters say we'll make a lot more money if the movie has a crappy 3D conversion which we can pass along to the consumer."
