It was reported here that it was originally going to be released in 2000 cinemas ....

in the US but that, because of the publicity, this had been changed to some 4000 cinemas. (Give their marketing man a raise.) According to my reckoning, that must be about 40,000 to 60,000 people per day who are going to watch pictures - and by that I mean: watch pictures, listen to Latin (no offense intended as to whatever language it should be), and read subtitles at the same time.

I'm not really smart enough to do that, so I just hope that the pictures alone that they are providing are well - whatever - given that 1/4 to 1/2 million people will watch it in the first week alone.

I don't know when it's gonna be released here.

Regards
Mo
