The Da Vinci Code is taking the weekend before Memorial Day, the weekend that was occupied by Shrek 2, Matrix Reloaded, and Attack of the Clones the last 3 years.
Memoirs of a Geisha is definitely aiming for an Oscar run.

I think it's a good move, although I'd rather it to move up instead of into the competitive December. Thanksgiving isn't the best week for it to open.

Yeah, it seems to be trying to copy the release strategy of Blade: Trinity. That might mean that Sony believes that Blade: Trinity will become a success. Perhaps good tracking numbers?

Agreed. I think that would have probably hurt it. If Ocean's Twelve or Blade: Trinity prove to be big hits on the second weekend of December, then that might actually be a very good move for Underworld 2.

I hope so.
I really want it to succeed, and if it weren't for Ocean's Twelve, it could have made over $50 for the 5-day. But, we'll see.

I think it will top 50m for the 5 day. But it should get over half its gross over the long weekend.

Memoirs of a Geisha has OSCAR written all over it. I mean we are more than a year away from it, yet I think most people here agree that it'll be one of next year's biggest awards frontrunners.
I sense the "Analyze That" and "Ten Whole Yards" effect for Miss Congeniality 2...

I just realized that Underworld 2 will now be going against The Chronicles of Narnia. That's not a very good idea.

I wonder if Underworld 2 is trying to emulate another certain movie's move, that opens next week...
Wait... I didn't even know there was an Underworld 2!

I smell DaVinci Code is going to be a HUGE moneymaker in May 2006!

Wow Libs, this is anticipated for you too? This is my most anticipated drama of next year.
11.18 could only mean one thing... this movie is potentially really good and they want to push it for Oscar consideration.

Underworld 2 is opening the same weekend as Blade: Trinity. Hmm...maybe Sony/ScreenGems believe Blade: Trinity will do good.
