Star Trek Beyond ONE YEAR COUNTDOWN!

[danielcw]

Someone needs to add 14 days to the count...

308.

Shouldn't we first wait to see, if other release dates are moved as well.
We should not just focus on the U.S. release date.

294

The Alternate Universe Constitution Class starships have a length of 294 meters, going by a 1:500 scale model released by Revell.

They're sooooooo wrong. It's 725m, from the mouths of the makers themselves.

(There have been some EPIC wars here over how big the new Enterprise is. It was insane.)

In my head cannon, that Enterprise is so big, because after the Narada incursion the Federation stepped up their game and went from lean-mean starships to SUV mode

 

[Squiggy]

Womp womp.

If Paramount allows it to linger in the wild for two weeks before its US release, they'll kill the box office here. Everyone here will have seen it by other means well before then.

Missed my birthday by 10 days.

THANKS OBAMA

Since I will not watch it in the cinema, already know the day it's released on Bluray/DVD? I want to have a countdown too.

 

[shapeshifter]

I'm out of the Countdown until we're back to 293.

I wonder, does this move indicate lack of confidence in the film, more confidence, or was it changed for some other reason?

Three Oh Fucking Eight


On the BBS, things were going along swimmingly until the FPTB changed the F-ing Release Date, so now we are back to F-ing 308

The only way the switch bothers me is if I have a massive heart attack (or get hit by a bus) between July 9th and the 22nd.

In either case I would imagine you have other things to worry about.

If I'm alive, they better damn well roll that hospital bed to the theater for the midnight showing!

Star Trek in the great beyond?

Well, we will sure shy away from either of those eventualities!

There's Voyager in Hell.

Please do not act like, everyone here is from the US.


Besides, it is not uncommon, for movies to open internationally a week before the US release

 

[HIjol]

Not that there is anything wrong with that, of course. Well, maybe a few minor things, lately, but...

Plus, "Buttered" "Popcorn" with extra "Butter" to watch the Movie with, wheneverthehell it comes out!

What in my post "acts" like everyone is from the US? I am from the US though, so my opinion is going to filter through that lens.

True. But there's a reason these studios try to get their films out at the same time if at all possible. Especially franchise films.

 

[HIjol]

If I understand the schizophrenic schema of the Movie-Releasing PTB, moving the release date in is as much about securing Maximum Screenage, especially IMAX, as it is about timing and geography.

"Age of Ultron", "Iron Man 3" and "Transformers: Should Have Been Extinguished" are just a few examples of movies released abroad to Great Big Fat Numbers before being released here in the "United States of America: Having Some Trouble Lately But Still Leaders Of The Free World And Who Everybody Comes Whining To When They Really Need Shit Done So They Can Shit On Us Later Even Though They Did Nothing"

In "Star Trek: Beyonds"'s case, I can find no one who is saying much about the release date change strategy, other than it was as a result of a combination of competing with other Summer Blockbusters, and procuring IMAX screens that were previously locked up for other films, before Star Trek announced its initial release date.

 

[shapeshifter]

Okay, I can see the IMAX box office importance. I was just reading a link on another thread here about that very fact.

Given the delayed status STB suffered, with the original script being rejected and all that followed, it seems plausible a pushing back of the release date was bound to occur.

^Is what I'd say if..., it were not for STB's release date being set before the script trouble, and the inevitable delays that come with them, had occurred. Tent-pole release dates aren't set without first checking for availability, correct?

Are those correct statements, or is this another example of why I shouldn't post after shots of Mezcal? lol
