Narnia Movie News wrote:According to ComingSoon.net, Walt Disney Pictures is planning to release Tron Legacy on December 17, 2010. That is exactly one week after Voyage of the Dawn Treader is scheduled to hit theaters. Currently, three other films are also scheduled to be released on the 17th: The Green Hornet, Yogi Bear, and Smurfs. The first two Narnia films both faced tough competition in their second week. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe went up against King Kong, and Prince Caspian against Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
What are your thoughts on this? I know I've been moaning about the Green Lantern, a comic-book adaption that was originally scheduled to release either the week before or two weeks after VdT; I've forgotten originally. Anyway, it was moved to a later date.
As I was saying, I did a lot of moaning about The Green Lantern back in the day because I was pretty worried that it would be a sleeper hit like Iron Man. Having Tron Legacy released the week after VdT is almost worse, lol. The original film was a cult hit and the new film has been receiving a LOT of buzz and press from the movie world. Having it release so close to VdT is pretty worrying to me and guarantees that VdT won't maintain it's top box office spot more than one week, which could have a negative impact on ticket sales and the future of Narnia movies.
So, I'm a little down today. Anyone think I'm overreacting, or does anyone agree with me that Tron is a pretty huge threat?
