I just read something online that the hold time was about 2 years from date of completion - only the fact that jack black's "school of rock" movie did well convinced them to put it in theaters.
I can remember seeing a preview for it in theaters a couple of years ago and then wonder when in it would ever be released. Then I started reading the rumors that it was so bad it may never be released. After it did 'escape' most of those rumors were confirmed.
Too bad because I like a few of the people in the movie like chris walken, amy poehler and rachel weisz.
Rachel Weisz will be in "Constantine" which is coming up in February. It stars Keanu Reeves, who somehow escaped all of those top 50 lists.
