One World, One Release

oh so its ok Norway and Uk trade dates then???

Well, this has saved me about £1800 next year. I had promised to take Ben to the US to catch the opening weekend.

Mayeb we'll go anyway, Star Wars weekends in May at WDW... 😄

What a way to ruin opening weekend🙁

There are now rumors of a pre preview premiere on the 16th of May😄 😄 They often do that in Norway, previews a week before it premieres. Only major cities though. Boy I hope the rumor is true. The source works at the local KinoZ(cinema place) I know this guy so I called him about RC breaking news. He heard the same rumors too about Norwegian opening day, but the word is 16 of May in the major cities. One screening only though so it is gonna be a scramble for tickets. Than God I can purchase them over the net.😄 😄

Way to go Finti, good luck with those tickets.

Personally I am booking the 16th-18th off of work.

Unless I can find a preview somewhere then I'll take that day off instead.

If this guy is bullshiting me I`m gonna tie his stupid uniform tie knot real tight. he gonna end up like another movie "Blue in the face"😄 😄 😈 😠

well, previews are common, but I don't know if they will risk it, Lucasfilm isn't the nicest around (so I won't take the risk here)

Public previews are only ever done with the consent of the distributer normally

Last time, EPI, they filled Oslo Spectrum a couple of times. 8000 per screening. So I think a preview in Norway along with the world release will get its blessings

so I won't take the risk of going to sneak-previews...

I saw TPM two months after it was released in America. By that time I knew almost everything about it. So I'm delighted.😄 😄 😄 😄 😄

only two months? lucky you!

Now why does Austria get to see it on May 16??????? I mean, they have to synchronise it into German and for us they only have to subtitle it???????? Weird weird weird.

BUT.... there is a reason for this. If they release AOTC in Europe on the same date as in the US, then we'd see it first. 😄
And since there probably will be a midnight premiere, I might get to see it at the same time as a lot of Americans who can't get to THEIR midnight showing. So all in all, not bad. Me so happy. 😄

hmmm, should inform with Kinepolis...

For what?

perhaps they will also do a midnight-screening, heck! I will go inside with a camera then to film it all!

You illegal Belgian you!!!! How dare you tape it???!!

(Pssst, send me a copy, okay? 😉 )

hmmm illegal belgian?

well, there goes my secret!

No prob in Belgium. 😉

How much of this is to do with stopping bootlegs do you think? One of the biggest markets for bootlegs of TPM, outside of Asia where the problem is rife, was Europe due to the big delay.

This should stop a lot of that.

hmmm, now the truth is known, I have to kill you with a spoon...
