I have been looking forward to Corpse Bride ever since I first saw the trailer a couple of months back. It’s supposed to come out in September, and today being the first day of that month o’ joy, I was hoping there’d be a release date somewhere.
Please, Teeming Millions in the know! I’ve been to the movie site, IMDB, registered for updates, everything! Tell me where else I can go to find the release date for my Tim Burton-y, Danny Elfman-y, Johnny Depp-y goodness!
Rotten Tomatoes says September 23.
A limited release will begin September 16, presumably major metro markets (NY, LA, a few others possibly)
Santos: 'Preciate it.
ArchiveGuy: Anything said about Virginia? Not likely, but I can hope.
If CNN becomes particularly shocking, & it will, you may expect a likely delay.
Oh, and I pulled that from the IMDB, for future reference.
Why? I don’t see any relationship between the devastation of a natural disaster and an obvious fantasy-based animated film that has nothing to do with floods or hurricanes and the like. The word “corpse” is hardly enough to reconsider a distribution strategy (and anyone who’s likely to make that connection, I’d say, is probably going to be upset by a myriad of unrelated things).
However, V for Vendetta has been delayed, in part because of the eerie similarity about terrorist bombers in the streets of London.
I thought I was looking forward to this too, after seeing the trailer before Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, so I got The Nightmare Before Christmas from the library…
I don’t want to see Corpse Bride anymore.
But… But…
These ideas, they don’t seem to fit in my brain. You say you… didn’t like… Nightmare?
I know just about every word of every song in that movie and Corpse Bride is being anxiously awaited.
Wow. I didn’t think it was possible not to like that movie. However, I’m sure you have great taste otherwise.
I hardly ever like the stuff I’m supposed to like. It’s a curse. 
Coming soon … to a theater near you.
What? You wanted more specific dates? I have no cite but I had heard 9-23. I’m looking forward to it but I didn’t exactly like Nightmare either.
Maybe you heard that in the very first reply?
Rotten Tomatoes says September 23, as does Spliced Wire.
ComingSoon.net says limited release September 16, wide release September 23.

Maybe you heard that in the very first reply? :)[\quote]Dang! I knew I heard it somewhere! 
Just saw a commercial for the movie and it listed the same dates for limited and wide release.
Depends on what part of VA and how ‘limited’ is the first release. Nowadays limited could mean ‘just’ 800 runs. So DC, Richmond and other areas would get the film on the 15th.
Don’t get all excited, I just saw it, and its not bad, but it’s no Nightmare Before Christmas .
It’s open here in Da Greatest City in Da Woild, but neither my wife nor either of my kids wants to see it. I feel nervous going without the Token Child.
Don’t! Go anyway, then you can praise it to the rafters and lord it over them when it gets such great reveiws and everybody else is going to see it and they missed their chance so, no, you’re not going to take them unless they proclaim you King of All Eternity!
Really, it’s getting AMAZING reviews. It played out of competition at the Venice Film Festival and lots of people thought that if it had been in competition, it would have cleaned up the awards.
And anyway, I don’t understand people who won’t go to see movies they want to see by themselves. It’s the movie that’s important, not some loser you don’t know behind you who thinks you’re weird.
Word. I go to the movies by myself quite often. I used to think it was weird, too, but after traveling alone for 2 months (in Europe a few years back) I even got used to going into nice restaurants by myself. You learn to ignore the funny looks. You can’t even see funny looks in a dark theater anyway. :rolleyes:
I saw the trailer and am now totally psyched. Damn Korea and their late release dates!
