Finally the last week has begun! In less than 7 days (July 16/17) AOE will start in many european countries like France, Italy, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland and most importantly (at least for me) Germany!!! Freakin Worldcup had to ruin the release! *grumble grumble* To all of you who are going to watch it in a few days: Have fun and enjoy it! I certainly will! To all of you living in Japan, Venezuela and Spain: I feel for you guys! Just hang in there! And to make the time go by faster: Do you remember this? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3pmvkR3NbGM And remember how long we had to wait for this? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SLYTbfZGd8c (Two words: Cybertron Monday!!!!!!!) Yeah... We had to wait 3 years for this movie and we will make these remaining 6/5 days the best days of our lives!!! Or die trying...
The movie will easily hit 1 billion at the box office by the time its released in all of these countries. Insane!
So why did the World Cup delay the movie? Did they think they would lose ticket sales if it was released during the Cup?
We're late to the party but once we're there it will be insane and the box office will explode! Woop Woop!
Yup! Most studios fear this time and try to budge their release dates around. Good for them. Annoying for fans. But that fear is justified: When Germany is playing the streets are pretty much deserted! Most people are at home and the only ones who are sitting in the theatres are watching the game on the big screen.
