The movie's theater run is done so they may aswell get a jump on DVD sales before the holidays.

would Hasbro have a say in when a Paramount DVD was released? I should imagine Paramount have set the release date for whatever they consider 'maximum impact' for their own product, and can't see them changing that date to shift toys for another company (whether or not they get a slice of the figure sales).

I don't disagree with what you or the validity of this statement ... but plenty of studios have had teaser trailers for movies that had not shot a frame of footage. Just throw up some of the test images would have increased excitement among fans of all ages. And excitement is what Hasbro needs for this line.

The Movie is from Paramount, I don't think Hasbro has any say as far as releasing the Movie. I do hope it does help to get more kids intrested to move the FRACKING first two Waves that are clogging the shelves. With our luck if the figures do move, they'll just get rstocked with the same f-ing two Waves.

I don't think the the roles are so clear cut. Hasbro helped produce the movie and is licensing GI-Joe to Paramount for the movie. I don't think Paramount simply wrote a check to Hasbro and Hasbro said OK go do whatever you want with GI-Joe.

As far as the OP goes, I think for once one of these "wild board member theories" might very well hold a lot of water. A November 3rd release date gives lots of time for rentals (and purchases) prior to Black Friday and the full-swing of Christmas shopping.
The original December release date was probably too close to Christmas...a lot of people would probably already be done shopping, or at least have it pretty well planned out as to what they're going to get. Another (somewhat unrelated) factor in moving up the release date is that the closer to the movie being in theaters it is, the less advertising you have to do for the DVD. If it's still somewhat "fresh" in peoples' minds, you don't have to prod them all that much more. |

I just hope something gets the wave 1 & 2 figure out of the stores. DVD release, 2 for $10 sales, buy one get one free sales, whatever! Just get these things out of the stores somehow. I'd like to see some new waves already. I want Charbroil. I've already found all the new Transformers & Star Wars stuff, but I can't find Charbroil anywhere.
