New "Sweeney Todd" Wide Release Date: December 21st!
DreamWorks and Paramount have decided to give Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd a wide release in the United States for Christmas. The original wide release date was January 11th, 2008, assuming that the film didn't have the potential to be a commercial success. But some studio executives saw some clips of the upcoming movie, and realized the film has much broader appeal than they assumed before (despite it being a violent musical). Variety wrote, "The hope is that "Sweeney" will be the sort of signature role for Depp that Captain Jack Sparrow in Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise was." However, the article stated that, "at the same time, DreamWorks and Paramount aren't likely to go out with "Sweeney." The studios aren't planning on releasing the film in more than 1,500 theaters in the United States on opening weekend.

YEEEEEEAH!!!
my hopes are the same as Tims. Johnny really needs to shake off Sparrow COMPLETELY! it kicks in in other roles way too often recently. it will be a whole new image, I am sure. Good luck to them both. oh, and Helena. didnt mean to discriminate.
I can not wait to see this movie! A Time Burton Musical, staring Jhonny Depp ITS LIKE A DREAM COME TRUE!!!
I am a huge Tim Burton fan, I collect Nightmare Beofre Christmas stuff and Edward Scissorhands aswell...I am in full expectance of this movie to be award winning material!
WOOO GO TIM BURTON!!!
