Apparently someone at Warner Bros. realized they were making a huge mistake by releasing Speed Racer on the same day that Indiana Jones 4 is set to debut. The movie will now open May 9, 2008, two weeks before Indy Jones.
“We have been excited about SPEED RACER since we first announced the project,” said Dan Fellman, president of domestic distribution, “We see it as a movie with broad-based, worldwide appeal–from adults to teens to families–making it the perfect film to lead off our exciting 2008 summer slate. We want to give SPEED RACER the maximum playability throughout the season, so moving it up to the earliest possible date made the most sense.”
Yeah, I could have told you that Mr. Fellman.
