Pfffft!

Try Norway, it's worse.

I think it's pretty much anywhere outside of the US! I think iv'e read on here that even Canada get things late too!
I think i'm gunna have to stay clear of the forums until i see the film in full at the cinema to avoid any spoilers.
I'll miss you all! HAHAHA

While I agree with everything you brought up, need I remind everyone here that Iron Man 3, The Amazing-Spider Man 2, Thor: The Dark World and Captain America: The Winter Soldier were all released in the UK before the USA? Cap 2 premiered in the USA first but wasn't fully released until after the UK.
Guardians of the Galaxy is also out on July 31st, 1 day before the USA. So the UK doesn't always get the short end of the stick. Sometimes we even get stuff a few days/weeks after everyone else, so why we're not getting the new TMNT movie for over 2 months is kinda weird.

And for the record, I haven't seen a single bit of marketing for the new movie here in the north of England whatsoever other than the occasional 10-15 second TV spot.

*Vicky82* · 07-13-2014, 01:25 PM

Well apparently they wanted Transformers and TMNT kept away from each other because they predicted Transformers that it's going to gross big and it is. I don't get this beacuse 3 Marvel films were released within a few weeks of each other

They also brought Transformers forward a week but wasn't officially not in the UK Box Office chart yet.

I thought why couldn't they release TMNT in September, no big movies in that month for UK. But I'm wondering they wanted it released in October because it's near half term (from Oct 27th in my county but maybe a week earlier in other counties) so kids will be off school so they know it make a bit of money.

The 2007 movie come out the same time as the US but it came out the same week as The 300 in the UK (which come out March 9th in the US) so it ended up at no 2 in the UK Box office and it only lasted about 3 weeks in the top 10 and it was a few weeks before easter holidays started and it only made 5 million.

So i'm wondering they didn't want to make the same mistake with this film but it may end up being a mistake as some people will probably download it and it will lose money.

The Turtle Terminator · 07-13-2014, 03:18 PM

Do you think that the movie premiere could be around the demise of Season 2 in the UK?

*Vicky82* · 07-13-2014, 03:28 PM

Yeah, it's probably why we haven't had any new episodes for a while, don't no when we getting new episodes, maybe in August as we got 12 episodes left and it's 14 weeks till we get the movie.

I haven't seen much in regard to season 2. The first DVD has come out with the first five episodes of season 2 but not much since. Problem is, you can watch them all in REALLY LOW QUALITY on you tube which kinda spoils it a little.

If only they didn't make us wait so long .....

*Vicky82* · 07-13-2014, 03:38 PM

All of Season 1 and some episodes of Season 2 are all on I Tunes.

Also you can get Season 1 and Season 2 vol 1 from Amazon.

TMNT is cooler than MOTU · 07-13-2014, 03:40 PM

I think later release dates are bad for any movie really. It just gives more reason to pirate it.

*Vicky82* · 07-13-2014, 03:49 PM

Yeah that could be a problem but which countries are worse that do pirates, I'm assuming it's countries like Russia, Japan and China ect that do it but Japan release date is in December and have no idea when China's release date is as it's no on IMDB yet. I expect it depends on which country have the movie in english but with different language Subtitles as I doubt people would download a movie to see it dubbed in a different language. But I'm not 100% on the pirate movies knowledge.

I did ask a workmate who downloads pirate films but he says that the quality of the pirate movie gets better when the movie releases in the UK

Getting a bit off topic, but does anyone know when the next DVD will be available over here? It probably will be available with a movie ticket in September. Also, are the UK getting the new pringles cans?

No idea, nothing new on Amazon yet.

Don't no about the Pringles can's as it's still too early but i'll keep a look out but the marketing will probably be different in the UK as if US got Pizza Hut promoting the movie we probably have McDonalds (I work for McDonalds so if anything pops up, i'll tell you. Also Mcdonald's in the US had TMNT/Furby toys in the Happy Meals, we only had Furby toys, which makes me think that they are delaying TMNT toys till October) or Burger King promoting it.

We'll if they are, we'll know where most of the latest "Playmates" toys come from

THIS is why I download the Nick series from the US the day after it airs.

It's interesting how the entire 1st season was released on region 2 before region 1, but they appear to have stopped airing season 2.

*Galactus* · 07-13-2014, 07:26 PM

I don't think it's a smart move at all.

I've been very vocal about not caring for most about this movie but concede I'd probably have gone to see it anyway.

But I'm not avoiding spoilers and reviews and discussion on this movie for two months and any curiosity will have long since faded by October. Unless it gets hyped as the best TMNT thing ever it'll be the first TMNT movie I don't see in a cinema.

Also with a lot of people eager to tear this a new one the fact that it can't boast international figures straight away will be used against it.

If it's to do with a half term holiday tie in then that just doesn't make sense. Start of August is perfect for school summer hols! And it DEFINATELY would've been a summer smash for kids!

Epic fail by the studio.

As I said before in previous posts, Paramount UK didn't want Transformers 4 and TMNT release dates too close together.

Here's the story from September last year.
