The Village (2004 Film)
The Village
Released by New Line Cinema on July 2, 2004

The unnecessary twist ending is left out of this film IOTL.
The film was preceded by trailers for the following:
Shezow (Hollywood Pictures in association with Dark Horse and Syncopy)

National Treasure (Disney/Bruckheimer/Legendary)

Big Fish (2004 Film)
Big Fish
Released by Lionsgate on July 2, 2004.
Notes
Tim Burton had originally set up Big Fish at Universal, but the film was put in turnaround after the failure of The Cat in the Hat torpedoed Universal's treasury for a short while.
And in case anyone is wondering, Big Fish is the first title ITTL to feature this Lionsgate logo below:
And the horror variant that'll open Saw later this year:

Yes. But it was nice and glad that Disney's remake of Sleeping Beauty, in conjunction with Dylan Sellers and Legendary Pictures, will have Hilary Duff and Chad Michael Murray as leads. Other 2004 films are on the way was Carolco's (OTL 20th Century-Fox made the film) I, Robot (Will Smith had a contract agreement with Warner Bros. in a picture deal resulting from Men in Black's success), Universal's Blue Beetle and Lionsgate's (OTL Columbia/Revolution Studios made the film) Kidnapping of a Daughter (OTL title is The Forgotten).
The Punisher (2004 Remake)
The Punisher
Released by 20th Century-Fox on July 2, 2004.
Notes
ITTL, this Punisher is a remake of the 1989 Punisher with Dolph Lundgren.
Logo History: The Terminator Franchise
When The Terminator was released in 1984, the film originally began with the Hemdale logo:
Around 1985 or '86, Hemdale was absorbed by New Line Cinema, who released T2 in 1991.
In September of 1994, New Line created a CGI version of their Filmbox logo which was plastered on early VHS prints of The Mask.
A more polished version of the CGI Filmbox logo would debut in December of 1994. This New Line logo's first appearance in the Terminator franchise was T3 in 2001.
Note: ITTL, the New Line logo above carries the Saban byline as of Spring 2000.

Very good. But to @OldNavy1988, I want to see Carolco/Warner Bros.' I, Robot, Universal's Blue Beetle, Carolco/Warner Bros.' Predators vs. Xenomorph: Requiem, United Artists' remake of The Manchurian Candidate, Disney's The Princess Diaries 2 (TTL it was based on the second volume Princess in the Spotlight, written TTL by Daniel Abbott instead of OTL's Shonda Rhimes) and Hollywood Pictures' (OTL Columbia/Revolution made the movie) Little Black Book.

When I saw that, I immediately thought of this:
As for if Hoffman is still alive, 2014 was when he died IOTL, so we're in 2004 currently ITTL, So hopefully he can get over his drug addiction. I'm not the one running this timeline, but still...
Hayden Christensen is currently auditioning for Chris Nolan's live action adaptation of Shezow.
Philip Seymour Hoffman is still alive. I might have him play Lou Pearlman in a Backstreet Boys biopic later on in the TL.
ITTL we've had Stone Cole Steve Austin and Rikishi in the same episode in Season 10. Mike Judge has been a guest star on at least five occasions.
Sterling Holloway would've been perfect had Thomas debuted in Sterling's acting prime.
Yes, Daniel has indeed seen The Wall.
