New Movie Release Dates
November 21, 2003
A lot of updates on movie release dates this week, as the studios begin to map out 2004 in detail (and in one case, firm up their plans for Christmas).
- House of Sand and Fog is moved forward one week to December 19, 2003. I've changed this to a "limited release only", since Dreamworks are planning to open it in 500 to 600 theaters only.
- Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! moves up from March 19, 2004 to January 23, 2004
- Eurotrip gets an official release date: February 20, 2004
- The Alamo will open on April 9, 2004
- Around the World in 80 Days will open on June 16, 2004
- King Arthur is moved up from Christmas, 2004 to July 7, 2004
- The Village's release date is pinned down to August 6, 2004
- The Princess Diaries 2 will open on August 11, 2004
- The Last Shot's release date gets narrowed down a little, to September, 2004
- Raising Helen will open on September 17, 2004
- Ladder 49 will open on October 8, 2004
- National Treasure is confirmed as an intended Thanksgiving release next year, opening November 24, 2004
- ...and Dreamworks responds by pushing Surviving Christmas up a week to November 19, 2004
- ...where it is joined by Sony's Last First Kiss (also opening November 19, 2004)
- Finally, The Life Aquatic is now slated as a December, 2004 release (no exact date yet).
