: your arguement is very flimsy and based on the fact that you know something we don't. Yet simple marketing tells us you are wrong.
: As a marketing guy I have to say that while January is the time for all movies that are gonna be flops, February is not.
: February is the time when you want to release your date movie. That is whne you hit the theatres with your honey and watch one of those romantic comedies.
: So to be honest I think Mirimaax post poned it for two reasons,
: 1. To not go head to head with blockbuster sure fire hits and
: 2. To gain some seperation from Gigli.
: It didn't take a rocket surgeon to figure out months ago this movie was gonna crap out if you saw it months ago. So there ya go. Post pone the movie and wait for the furor to die down.
: As far as the money goes, I imagine Mirimax will put the same amount of money into ads, only they will redesign the campaign. Minimizing J-Lo already small part.
: But in the end, it is only small minds that will debate this topic into the ground.
: Have some faith in this man that you are supposedly a great fan of.
: Maybe he knows something we don't. After all, he's the rich fuck with the hot wife!
