Saw this the other day, didn't see anyone posting on here about it. It was supposed to come out April 23rd or something, but they pushed it back till November to try to get it into some film festivals. I mean, I know its going to be horrible, with Shia LaDoosh being his normal douchey self, but it would still be worth a laugh. Is anyone else kinda pissed?

I just think its a retarded reason to postpone it. I mean, the only films that win anything at these festivals are mushy chick flicks and hipster / indie films, not films with LaDoosh about Wall Street...

I don't think that's why it
I don't think that's why it was postponed. I believe the reason Fox/Stone gave was that it would have been going up against lots of big-budget summer blockbusters in the original slot, so they delayed it to avoid as much competition and increase revenue; also, this way it will likely coincide with debate on financial reform (after the recess), which should drive eyeballs.
You can't claim to be a capitalist and objectively fault someone for maximizing revenue.

Yeah youngmonkey I think that is pretty trivial in the grand scheme of box office revenues.

I don't totally agree with this statement. You have to look at the marginal revenue that they would have made on this, and see if the option to delay the movie is really valuable. I mean, they could have shown the film, probably made a pretty good return, and then parlayed that money into a new project which could then start generating revenue. I mean, when you add in all the extra costs of delaying, i.e., a completely new marketing run to drum up interest again, in addition to the one they've already done, it just doesn't make sense. There has to be some other reason, hopefully Shia is in rehab or something, I just really hate that guy.
Also, isn't the movie about how greed on wall street is bad? How can you say that wouldn't make money now? People would love to go and boo hoo people making big bucks in banking, maybe even more than watching Tony Stark blow shit up. Probably not, but maybe.

Guenter, the movie was moved
Guenter, the movie was moved because of competition.
We've got Iron Man 2, Robin Hood, Shrek, Prince of Persia, Sex and the City 2 back-to-back. I know I'll watch first 4 for sure, and my gf will probably drag me to watch Sex and the City 2. Wall Street 2 got nothing on them.

Read this if you can't wait for the movie to come out. I read it in February and probably won't see the movie, because its really a waste of time.

I too was excited when I heard the title "wall street 2" but I went from anticipatory to disgusted after seeing the trailer. Is it just me or are movies becoming so bloody stupid these days. As if its only supposed to be for low-average intellects.

Um.... there are movie theaters outside of NYC. And SA's dont's generally have swarms of free time to watch movies and picnic in the park when they get tired of hitting up the nightlife scene
