12/26 vs. 12/27 New releases (1 Viewer)

[EricSchulz]

According to this story at USA Today of the 165 titles that were scheduled to be released on Tuesday 12/27 (the "normal" new release day), 33 were bumped up to Monday 12/26 to take advantage of the heavy traffic in stores during the post-Christmas sales and returns time. Does anyone know exactly which titles got moved up? Toy Story 2 is a definite buy for me.

 

[TravisR]

The sole reason is to cash in on the day after Christmas rush at stores.

 

[Travis Brashear]

The only other one I know of that is coming out on 12/26 besides TOY STORY 2 is DARK WATER.

 

[Brook K]

The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill is another.

 

[Scott Temple]

American Pie Presents Band Camp

 

[Chad E]

I believe The Shield: Season 4 was also bumped up to December 26.

 

[Justin_S]

Grizzly Man hits on the 26th as well.

 

[DavidBC]

Into The Blue is the 26th (at least in Canada for the Boxing Day fun!)

 

[TonyD]

This is not my complete list of titles for those two days...but pretty darn close (all I could put together on a moment's notice). There's a whole slew of Buena Vista "B" titles hitting next week, too.

Is Mary Shelley's Frankenstein from that set a widescreen version? I've had a hard time coming across this film in its OAR for some reason. I don't have Dracula either, so this would be a definite buy for me.

 

[Malcolm R]

I wonder how many stores will skip the 12/26 release date after years of always doing new releases on Tuesday?

 

[Jason_V]

^ All I gotta say is that the stores in my neck of the woods better stick to that 12/16 street date for seaQuest. That is the only thing I'm getting this week and I plan on making it halfway through the season before Monday is over.

Brett,

I have a copy of the widescreen/fullscreen flipper of MS's Frankenstein available if you still need it. Never been watched. I impulse-bought it about 4 months ago but I'm trying to thin my collection out now.
