This is just a thought that occurred to me recently when watching the preview to the movie “Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” (can’t wait to see it).

It’s release date is Christmas. For a while big films were being released around or on Thanksgiving. Holiday releases are becoming more and more common.

While it makes sense to release a big film for Oscar reasons at the end of the year and around the holidays because people are off, I do find it a bit weird to release it on such a major holiday like Thanksgiving or Christmas. The time when we’re supposed to be having big, tasty meals with family and friends. I mean I like popcorn and all but geez. Just a thought.
