They want it as a summer movie, not a Christmastime one...

Oh well...I'll still go see it!

Well, there goes that Christmas present to my stepdad....

Ah well, just have to drag him out of the house in the midst of summer instead

May 2009? Putting it up against Indy is unwise.

I doubt Indy's run will be an entire year, but you never know.

Indy is May 2008.

Indy is May 2008.

Ahh. My bad

(never mind)

I remember the good ol' days when movies like Star Wars would stay in the theater for months and months and movie tickets were cheap enough that a kid like myself could go see it over and over again.

I wonder how many movies were relased each year back in the late 1970s for movies to stick around for so long when the theaters often had only 2 to 4 screens.

I remember seeing movies get re-released. My parents were forced to drive me up to Evansville, IN to the theater there to see Star Wars and ESB every time.

This sounds like good strategy, and I didn't really see Christmas time as a good time for a movie release. Hopefully this is a sign that the movie is good enough to be a big blockbuster.
