Current Talk '24 I / Re: hoDS/NoDS DVD Release?
« on: November 08, 2010, 07:17:39 PM »even when Burton has delivered the completed movie with its post-production, there could be a SUBSTANTIAL wait before the studio shoehorns it into one of the hot release weekends on their calendar.
This is very true. If, say, WB sees the film as an October, November or even December release (the three months when most studios release their big dramatic guns), and if the film is not completed in time for WB to find what they deem a suitable week in October-December 2011 where they don't already have a movie (or movies) in play and there isn't a film (or there aren't films) they fear might be major competition for the Depp/DS film, they could easily hold off releasing it in 2011. And if they really have their heart set on an October, November or December release, then its release could easily be held off until sometime in October-December 2012 even though it was completed the year before. Studios do such things all the time.
