Title: Why Was Punch Drunk Love Pushed Back?
Post by: ᾦɐļᵲʊʂ on June 11, 2003, 12:43:21 PM
Does anybody know?  I've been really patient to get it ever since the local movie store said it was to be released on April 1st.  And yes, I heard from many people the "Must have been an April Fool's joke."  

They pushed it to the 22...then June 10th.  I went in yesterday and what do you know?  It's pushed to the 24th.

Does anyone know what the hell is going on?

No. The other dates were just rumors. June 24 is the "official" date.

So why did my local movie place advertise April 1, April 22, and then June 10?

Do stores really base their sales on rumors?

it was supposed to come out in bare bones version and then later when he had the time to prepare the goods, the special   version.  but since paul didnt want to rip everybody off, he told the studios to give him a little more time to do the one version the right way, and they agreed.

in fact, pta originally wanted just the movie to be released with no special features, later he realized that there were some things he wanted to be included which pushed the date back...an oscar screener is available, there are a few floating around e-bay from time to time, however the transfer is mediocre.
