Anyone know the reason for the late opening date?
Is it just that SW doesn't play that well in Japan - more so Harry Potter and other anime - so they are holding off for hopefully great WOM to pump up the Japan market.

Japan 9 July 2005 It happened with AotC too, and it still grossed a very good 100+ million dollars.
It's a good date.

This is the Billion $ Question, Will it make 1 Billion?
Which would still put it at # 3 behind Titantic and ROTK.
