: has Shaun of the Dead made any impact in the US as at all ? It done very well here but was definitely british based humour which I know it always as appreciated around the world
: saying that, has it even been released there ?
Considering "Dawn of the Dead" was a smash when it openned here, and that both "Dawn" and "Shawn" are being distributed by Universal, I suspect the studio will wait out "Shawn" to avoid confusion with "Dawn of the Dead"--waiting until maybe year's end when "Dawn" is out of video for a bit. Maybe they'll start hyping "Shawn" then, putting a trailer on the "Dawn" dvds and videos so those who are exposed to "Dawn" can tell the difference between the two.
