Well I have heard a lot of theories about why Warner Brothers changed the date to July 17,2008. What is yours??

Im still thinking this is a joke and those fools are trying to trick us...but, maybe they are doing it for more summer money, plus, July is not summer for Australia, we get out big break from Decemeber 14th to February 1st!

They wouldn't have been competing with Twilight. They were going to be shown a whole month apart.

I don't think changing the date will get them more money. The people will go out and see the movies anytime in the year. Some people just seem to like them that much :-/

I'll have to say "To get more money in the summer movie month, those greedy jerks!"

November isn't a big month for films, really.
