its weird the release date is a wednesday.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was released on a Wednesday, if I’m not mistaken. I think Fridays are the ‘norm’ for a theatrical debut, but I’ve definetly heard of movies- even big blockbusters, that were released on Wednesdays.

This is grrrrrrreat news!! I was seriously just thinking that I needed to see Efron on the big screen again and voila…we get a solid date.
Week nights work better for me for a girls night anyway, so the Wednesday release is perfect! haha

yea now that i think about it, i think harry potter was also released on wednesday.
August 15th, 2009 at 1:29 am
^^ I get what you meant though by saying it’s a little different. I’m used to Friday releases as well!
August 15th, 2009 at 2:06 am
Well… that’s great news. Congratulations to you all

They release them on a Wednesday to give them a longer opening weekend. They usually do this for blockbusters to make them seem really successful but its weird that this is for an indie movie!

They are releasing it on Wednesday November 25th to take advantage of Thanksgiving Day holiday.

Dani- Is there an Australian release date yet?
August 15th, 2009 at 10:01 am
Oh, that’s cool. It comes out a week before the UK
August 15th, 2009 at 10:48 am
Yippiee! Solid date!
Harry Potter came out on a Wednesday too.
August 16th, 2009 at 1:32 pm
Yiiipppeee. LA and Audrey–here I come!!!

Hey!
Okay I know this may seem like a stupid question especially considering you said “North American theatres” but I was wondering if Canada would get MAOW on the same day too? I mean I remember hearing like last year the Miramax picked it up for a Canadian release but there’s been a lot of doubtful people
August 17th, 2009 at 6:51 am
Audrey – No.
Desiree – this is pure speculation but one of the other girls in the fandom who is in Canada speculates that there is no Canadian release date at the moment, particularly as she didn’t get the MAOW trailer in her copy of 17 Again; but in the US and UK versions the MAOW trailer was featured.

Thanks for answering Dani…that’s what I was afraid of. I guess I’ll just have to wait.
August 17th, 2009 at 9:57 am
Yes!
So pumped for November now.
August 17th, 2009 at 10:11 am
Dani- I love you, you know that, but LOL forever at that brief delivery of an answer. I read the “No” and just… I’m sorry, I couldn’t help but laugh.

17 again is #1 on top movie sales on iTunes
August 17th, 2009 at 7:27 pm
Audrey – ranting gets me more upset about it. I’ve actively ranted and cried. Every time I see people all excited I want to leap through the screen and throttle them. So if I keep it simple, then it’s like I am harnessing the negative energy back. So the answer is no.
August 17th, 2009 at 9:08 pm
“So the answer is no” is now a new motto for me. I actually do understand the dissapointment/frustration (and any other emotions I may have left out). I still don’t know if Ashley’s “Guilty Pleasure” was released in Australia. I’ll leave it alone, but I am keeping my fingers crossed that an Australian date is announced sooner than later.

Wanted to share a photo of my b-day present from Dee… because she’s awesome, and I figured you guys could appreciate the kitschiness of it.
August 17th, 2009 at 9:37 pm
Ha! That’s way better than photoshop, Dee! I loves it.
Is it banned from the bedroom, Audrey?
August 17th, 2009 at 9:38 pm
^^ Girrrrrrrrrrl!

section 3 Tweeted this:
“Section 3 was happy to house Zac Efron on the weekend! *quite the drinker!… j/k. MONDAY NIGHT=Smirnoff special! $3.95 $12 Gourmet Pasta”

Audrey–
I can’t understand why your bf wouldn’t want to share the bed with a pink Efron? I know I would.
August 18th, 2009 at 11:32 am
if the canada release date is the same as the US one (fingers crossed) its 3 days b4 my bday so that would be an awesome present!
August 18th, 2009 at 7:49 pm
