Conundrum of the day: Considering a massive release date swap. Although both St. Claire and Gauntlet of Midas are finished I was thinking of switching places as Planet 2 escapes the sci-fi/Action stuffing of November and I can work on St. Claire cause I’m not the most confident in it but that leaves me with two problems.
Problem 1: Remakes would be too close to another
Kingdom of The Sun comes out March 27th, Y4, and I want it to do big and am confident in it but I don’t like 2 remakes so close to one another (even though KOTS is a PG rated family skewing/female skewing musical and Planet 2 is a sci-fi PG-13 tentpole to a sequel). Also Brave comes out June 5th so I wonder if it’s too much for audiences
Problem 2: Family problem
St. Claire is going to be a light PG-13, and I think could draw families. With that and Wings in November and Roger Rabbit and Thymes in December, I don’t want to hurt Can You Imagine? as again huge hopes for it.
What I have been thinking about is having the schedule like this:
March 27th: Can You Imagine? (No family films since Pokémon 2 and no family competition until Our City 2)
May 1st: Treasure Planet: Gauntlet of Midas
November 6th: St. Claire and The Bermuda Affair
November 25th: Kingdom of The Sun
But again two massive live action tentpoles so close to each other is something I don’t like, also afraid about KOTS legs. Not to mention CYI might be hurt by Got Milk?, Baseball Boy and Pokemon 2 (BAG to a lesser extent as well) So I may just leave everything as is.
Thoughts?
