GI JOE Retalliation delayed until 2013

[TRIPLE M]

G.I. Joe: Retaliation won't be opening in theaters June 29 after all.

The Hollywood Reporter and Variety both say the Paramount sequel has been pushed until March 29, 2013 in order to convert the movie to 3D. Deadline claims this is to bolster the movie's foreign box office chances, where 3D is a huge draw.


“We’re going to do a conscientious 3D job because we’ve seen how it can better box office internationally,” an exec informed Deadline. “Jim Cameron did all of Titanic‘s 3D in post – and look how well that movie turned out.”

However, THR says the move and 3D conversion is in reaction to the poor box office for another Hasbro movie, Battleship, which performed far better overseas than it did domestically, but was notably not in 3D.

Battleship probably killed Hasbro's portfolio

If "GIJOE" getting pushed back ruined your summer you need to reassess your life. That shyt was, at best, a B-level movie next to the shyt I named.

They saw what happened to battleship and made a wise decision.

If they wait till then Ironman 3 and Thor 2 might kill that shyt. Better to just push it back to the fall.
