If you have a movie where the climactic event takes place on Feb 29th, and indeed, the name of movie itself is "Leap Year"...

wouldn't it make sense to release it *during* a leap year?

By that logic, 2012 shouldn't be released until... 2012 - Roger More Dec 16, 07:07 5
- but there'll be no audience left. -- nm - Loosi Lou Who Dec 16, 07:18
- no, that's a warning, see? - mafic Dec 16, 07:08 3
  - Maybe Leap Year is a warning too. -- nm - Roger More Dec 16, 07:08 2
    - maybe all cinema is warning. -- nm - mafic Dec 16, 07:09 1

So they should shelve it for 2 years? -- nm - Jim Dec 16, 07:06 10
- at this point, no, but why put it into production in the first place? - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 16, 07:07 8
  - They can re-release it every four years! -- nm - Dano Ho Ho Dec 16, 07:19
  - Do you really think that people who want to see a movie like that are going to flock to the theaters on a Wednesday night? (LY 2012 is on a Wed.) - kelly Dec 16, 07:14 1
    - but, just think of all the wedding proposals at midnight showings they could inspire! -- nm - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 16, 07:17
  - I'm thinking you make your movie when you have a cast and funding and don't worry about the release time. nm - Jim Dec 16, 07:10
  - Because a rival studio might start work on their own Leap Year movie concept, and it's best to be first -- nm - Roger More Dec 16, 07:08
  - which will mean *minimal* change in profit. -- nm - Andie Cane Dec 16, 07:07 2
    - and money now is better than money later. -- nm - mafic Dec 16, 07:08 1
      - And much of the profit comes from DVD sales anyway. -- nm - mara Dec 16, 07:11
- They should have timed it better! -- nm - JaxSean Dec 16, 07:06
long wait at this point. -- nm - Andie Cane Dec 16, 07:06
