Author Topic: Thunderbirds Are A NoGo Jonathan M. Crist Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 531 From: Hershey, PA, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 07-27-2004 04:32 PM                     In an annoucement on Monday July 26 (which tells you just what Universal thinks of its own picture's chances) Universal announced that the release of Thunderbirds scheduled for this Friday July 30th has been postponed. It is uncertain for how long it will be postponed or if this wonderful release (which I know we have all been waiting for) will ever see the light of day (other than on home video).  |  IP: Logged Ryan Luby Film Handler Posts: 70 From: Minneapolis, Minnesota Registered: Jun 2004 posted 07-27-2004 04:53 PM                     But it looked so good..  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 07-27-2004 05:03 PM                     I haven't been into work today, but our website has the Friday shows up for sale for Thunderbirds.

As of now this sounds like false information.  |  IP: Logged Jason Black Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1723 From: Myrtle Beach, SC, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 07-27-2004 07:14 PM                        Late Tuesday here and my bookings have yet to reflect this change... Maybe this falls under the "Wish it were true" category??  |  IP: Logged Mark Ogden Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 943 From: Little Falls, N.J. Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-27-2004 07:39 PM                     Do you have a verifiable source you can attribute this to? The film's official website still lists Friday as the release date. This late a pull by a major studio would be an unprecedented move, yet none of the on-line entertainment news services (Variety, IMDB, Hollywood Reporter, WENN) has any report of this. Also, Ben Kingsley has been making the TV rounds all day plugging the film and its "this weekend" release date. Are you sure about this?  |  IP: Logged Dennis Benjamin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1445 From: Denton, MD Registered: Feb 2002 posted 07-27-2004 07:40 PM                        Technicolor is scheduled to deliver this print tomorrow. I just saw an ad that said 'opening Friday'. Somebody been tokin' on the pipe a bit much?  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 07-27-2004 07:45 PM                        Still on the "official" Thunderbirds website: http://www.thunderbirdsmovie.com/enter.html quote: Requires Flash  |  IP: Logged Dean Kollet Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 591 From: Florida State University Registered: Jul 2003 posted 07-27-2004 09:07 PM                     we too are booked for this...you'd think Ben Kingsley would know eh?  |  IP: Logged Thomas Procyk Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1842 From: Royal Palm Beach, FL, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 07-28-2004 11:32 AM                     Yahoo! has annoying popups for it everywhere saying it starts this Friday. I think we've all been the victims of "Bad Intelligence" (again). WITCH! WITCH! =TMP=  |  IP: Logged Mike Spaeth Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1129 From: Marietta, GA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 07-28-2004 03:59 PM                        Maybe it's just your theater. They pulled it from 2 of ours on Monday afternoon ... They were cancelling as many dates as they could.  |  IP: Logged Dennis Benjamin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1445 From: Denton, MD Registered: Feb 2002 posted 07-30-2004 10:46 AM                        Sounds like they pulled back on the number of prints released. We are playing it in one auditorium starting today.  |  IP: Logged Jack Ondracek Film God Posts: 2348 From: Port Orchard, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2002 posted 07-31-2004 04:20 AM                        It's at all the normal places around here... except for one of the multis, which is tied up with extra prints of "Bourne".  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN! Posts: 1219 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: Nov 2003 posted 07-31-2004 05:18 AM                        Well, we've been showing it at my theater today. Showing it in a (142)seat auditorium during the morning + 1st matinee and then moving it to a (211)seat auditorium for the 2nd matinee + twilight... and then back to the (142)seat for the 1st prime + 2nd prime. Man... I'm feeling really sorry for the people who have to keep moving the prints. This is not the only movie being moved around a couple of times. About 11 prints maybe alittle less will be moved at least once today.  |  IP: Logged
