Some food for thought:
Originally, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children was scheduled for a September dual-release in both Japan and North America, with Japan obtaining a special release of the DVD with more extras and collectable offers than the US release (which is the norm in Japan where rabid Otaku are known to pay more for collectables and there is a defined market for these items.) The offical website for the English version of Advent Children even had a countdown clock to the release of the DVD.But days before the United States release, Square Enix changed the date to November 2005, in a move that would indicate that Square Enix was trying to release the DVD during the lucrative holiday sales times. The time was changed again in early November to a January release date (with initial confusion given that many retail outlets got different release dates and infomation that didn't match), with a limited theatrical run before the release of the DVD. Fans have pointed out that the idea is a questionable one, given the track record of Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, which bankrupted Square Pictures after the movie brought in much lower than what it took to make it.
As of November 20, 2005, the release date for the film has changed again, according to a posting on animeondvd.com, which cited TRSI (The Right Stuf International, an anime catalog company and distributor of anime and hentai titles in the US) as putting the release date to March 28, 2006.
The constant changing of release dates has a possible negative affect on the sales of the US release of the film, as many fans have resorted to downloading fansubs off of BitTorrent and/or importing the Japanese R2 version in order to watch the movie. It is unclear at this point why Square Enix has constantly pushed back the release date given the huge built-in fanbase of Final Fantasy VII in the US.
