Nordling here.
Bummer! I was hoping HUGO CABRET would be a BNAT movie! Oh well.
Looks like Paramount has the domestic rights to HUGO CABRET, Martin Scorsese's 3D family film, and has moved it up to the day before Thanksgiving, November 23rd, for release, according to Deadline. This puts them smack dab in competition with Disney's THE MUPPETS, which is scheduled to be released the same day. Two very big family films indeed, scheduled for right before Thanksgiving. I'm not sure if either movie is going to flinch and move to another date, but for now, looks like it's Scorsese vs. Kermit!
Who will win? If Scorsese brings his bat-wielding thugs at the end of CASINO with him, well, I think Kermit might be destined to be in a hole in the middle of the Nevada desert... but Kermit's got ANIMAL... and Professor Honeydew... and the Swedish Chef... so they may be evenly matched. Either way, I'm there for both that weekend.
Nordling, out.
