"Quantum of Solace" Pushed Back a Week
Release dates are moving all over the place. Now Quantum of Solace has been pushed back a week to Nov. 14, 2008 in North America. It makes sense, to take advantage of the holiday movie-going crowd. Columbia and MGM Pictures thinks so, too. They announced today:
“The strategic move places the highly-anticipated James Bond adventure one week closer to the prime movie-going holiday window and takes advantage of last week’s decision to move the release date of ‘Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.’”
More after the jump…
Adds Jeff Blake, chairman of Worldwide Marketing and Distribution for the Columbia Tristar Motion Picture Group, “We saw the film recently in London and Marc Forster, Daniel Craig and the entire team at EON have truly delivered another extraordinary Bond adventure … We believe November 14th is a great date that allows us to play straight through Thanksgiving and right into Christmas. The Bond films have a long history of entertaining audiences in this holiday corridor going back to Goldeneye in 1995.”
The move makes Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa and Role Models (just moved) the only wide release on Nov. 7, and puts Quantum of Solace up against Australia, Nothing Like the Holidays, and Soul Men on Nov. 14.
