WI: captain America released on the 3rd of may this year

captain America released on the 3rd of may this year does this just after Osama's compound has been stormed does this help it at the box office ?


(this is my first Thread)

Considering that I'm still working on a shot that's due for it on monday, it would require a bloody miracle of planning on the production end for them to get the film released a month and a half early.
 
What would happen???

That would happen.

In seriousness... it'd probably take business away from Thor, which was released not too soon after in the US (three days afterwards to be exact).

Don't know how well that'd go in other countries, since Thor had been in their theaters for a while by then.

Granted this PoD seems to assume that they got things rolling sooner than in our OTL. But I doubt they'd release Cap and Thor movies so close together, it'd jeopardize the chances of either one doing well at the box office.
 
In any case, it's highly unlikely that any Hollywood movie would be released to theaters on the 3rd, since that's a Tuesday.
 
I could see it being more of Theaters get the movies on the 3rd, and aren't supposed to release it until the 6th (A Friday). It would get a lot of attention too.

Thor, if Captain America was released on the 6th of May, probably would get a Summer release in June.

With analog film, Theaters generally get the movies the day before the release, sometimes even later the night before. (Unless things have changed in the past fifteen years, but I doubt that this would). The projectionist needs a little time to set them up on the projectors (sometimes a little splicing is also necessary to fix damage) but not much, and sometimes theaters may show the more popular films in special sneak previews, or to employees late at night, as a sort of test showing.

I can't imagine that digital movies (no longer on a reel), which would require a lot less tweaking, would be released any earlier. Are they?
 
Have they translated the film over to 3D?

Well, the company I work for is the one that is making Chris Evans skinny, the stereo conversion comes after. Which is happening right now I'm guessing. Same goes for HP7 pt 2, except we shipped the last shots for that like two weeks ago.

Did they actually shoot CA with 3D in mind or did they just decide to add it post processing, regardless of how the movie was shot?

I don't know if they shot it with 3d in mind, although, considering some of the stuff we've had to fix, sometimes I'm not even sure that they had us in mind when shooting.
