I think the delay's at least a good idea in the sense that, if it were competing against Forbidden Kingdom[the other Monkey King movie], it'd lose, due to the latter film having bigger stars(at least in the U.S.) in the cast. Plus, it'll give Americans a better chance to familiarize themselves with the legend, so they can get into DB without being clueless.

Any movie with a budget over $100 Million usually has its' teaser out and about in December, not unless it's Star Wars, which doesn't need trailers, because I'm sure it'll still rake in tonnes of cash. Atleast it'll give Disney a run in the Best Animated Movie, in the Oscars, only to lose, because the academy doesn't care for hard science fiction. To be fair though, I do want to watch both DragonBall, and Pixar's Robot Movie(Name slips my mind). |
YAY!!! WALL-E!!!

How can a movie make money being the 5th film opening in wide-release, including a Star Wars film. It's not a reject Star Wars creation either. It's been in the works for quite some time and is supposed to be one of the bigger events (starting theatrically as a preview, and then heading to television shortly after, airing on multiple networks) of the year.
Although I was really looking forward to an August release date, if releasing it in April makes it a better movie, I guess I have to support the decision. |
Don't kid yourself, Star Wars: Clone Wars is a relatively small event with minimal recognition outside of the nerd circles. It does not have the mass market appeal, being a cartoon, as the live action movies. Finally, I have seen NO advertising campaign for the film, even though by this point we should have at least had commercials at the Super Bowl and any number of awards shows.
BTW: the Pixar robot movie is WALL-E, which looks liable to redefine mass market animation.
