A couple of reports over at Bloody-Disgusting and at Arrow In The Head are saying that Fox have shifted the release date from December 25th to January 18th. If this is true, I guess they’ll have to change greenband trailer and what about the movie title? The January 18th release date also happens to be the UK release date of AvP2 so if the US date has changed, so will the UK one.
Yeah, I always said they would postpone it but moving it from Christmas to go up against 1-18-08 is perhaps an even worse move. We spoke to Fox who said that AvP2 is still scheduled for the Christmas release date though. Thanks to DazAvP01 for the news.
Edit: Okay I can confirm that the date has not changed. The 18th is the international release date. Those site’s just got the wrong end of the stick. Here’s what Fox said on the matter:
“Some have heard through the rumor mill that the date for this release has changed. NOT SO! Forgive the confusion, but an international site posted the UK release date which is January 18th (and many other sites have picked up on it). We in the U.S. have not waivered from our bold release date of CHRISTMAS DAY – Dec 25th 2007.” (Hicks)

I hope it not true.
Perhaps I misunderstood you Darkness, but what do you mean with "but moving it from Christmas to go up against 1-18-08 is perhaps an even worse move." - why is that? I've never even heard about "Untitled J.J. Abrams Project", is it supposed to be something major?
Screams of infinite rage fill my head! ARGH! That will be the most ignorant move that FOX can make, especially with that JJ Abrams No Name Monster Flick coming out that day...what a bunch of Rtards!
You've never heard of it? Check out the teaser. It's got a pretty big following already.
Releasing it on Christmas day is the worst idea ever. Moving it into the post holiday period will mean a better opening. Who goes to the cinema on December 25?
I hope they don't change the UK release date, if so I'll be back in uni and might have to wait a few days to see it >:(
It could be a worldwide release date so maybe Fox is taking it out of Sony's book with Spider-Man 3 and Disney's book with the Pirates Of The Caribbean sequels. Although Fox released the Star Wars prequels on a worldwide relaese dates.
I hope it is a world wide release, it stops the amount of spoilers on this forum :P
I think there just talking about the UK date. Who goes to the cinema on December 25? ____________________________________________ I do becasue I don't celebrate christmas, I want to see the movie on christmas.
All non christians and non religious people don't celebrate christmas :D I am not religious but I like christmas for the presents. ;)
Why not just move it up to December 1st-7th?
I would go on X-MAS but there is no cinema near me, I have to go on 40 min travels to get near a cinema but on holidays the buses and stuff don't run so... :P
this is what i want for christmas,prolly teh best present i could get(im not a fan of christmas) so i tihnk it fits fine.
Well, thats just retarded if its true.
I think its better to release the film in january (like predator) but a worldwide release will be good! christmas day wasn't a good move, plus releasing it worldwide will stop spoilers and piracy etc.. I just hope they use the same title everywhere.. not sure about JJ Abrams No Name Monster. that may harm the film! have to wait and see, it mite just be the u.k date thats changed! lets relax, its no officiall
This movie the jan. 18th could be why we haven't gotten the green band trailer online?
I think there just talking about the UK date
maybe this is why the green band trailer has yet to be officially released (via internet), considering the xmas themed preview is now irrelevant.
Ya but TONS of potential ticket buyers already saw the Xmas themed trailer.. It's gonna be stuck in their heads its supposed to be released near xmas.
Noooooo!!!!!! It can't be changed! That's three more weeks of waiting that I can't do! If anything it needs to be pushed to an EARLIER release date ;D
the only way am guna c this movie in the cinemas iz be sneeking in jus like i did with the first one cuz i wasnt old enough ;)
i agree optimus, an after holiday wud b better...but i hope we dont get it after evryone else
not again shiffted :'(
hahaha...i just have to laugh. January? i bet there is a few ppl pissed off. nevermind guys, its only 3 weeks? hehe dont cry ;D
First the u.k fans were moaning about the title change (myself included) lol. Now the american's are moaning about a january release date...welcome to our world! lol Rock On!
ahh ffs i knew there was too much good news coming out ::) has this been confirmed by fox??...god damn it i hope it doesnt come out that late :-\
They had better not, if they move the release date to 1-18-08 I won't see it. This is too much, what is Fox doing?
I can only hope this is true. A Christmas Day release is a death sentence.
Argh. If they wanted to move it back, why not do it by a week or two? Why make it compete with another movie that has such a strong following already :( I personally dont care WHEN I see the film, but I want it to have every chance to do well, because it looks like the brothers have done a good job with it, and a good AVP movie could do wonders for all three franchises involved. Imagine two years from now, having a 3rd Predator movie, with a 3rd AVP and a 5th Aliens movie to look forward to. That it what a good, successful AVP-R could give us. If this movie fails, I fear that everyone in hollywood will simply give up on all three franchises.
yea O.P, an' wots dis guy on about a few weeks? "its months u div!"
Yeh a few weeks!! Dec 25th - Janaury 18, thats a few weeks! Rock On!
I think this is a better date. Itll be a one on one, can Avp:r beat Cloverfield? I doubt it though. Cloverfield could be big (unless it's really bad). But I think AvPR would have got lost among all the other movies opening during christmas.
If they need the time to tweak the movie or do even better effects, it would be ok for me to wait a month longer.
btw evry1 slates AVP and yes there were sum crap parts in it but it wasn't that bad....
wot wud b ur ideal uk release O.P?
Did The Straus Brothers Confirm That It Would Be Released in January Instead Of Dec.But Like Many Of You Just Said Who Would Go To The Theatre On X-MAS..Yeah It Feels Like A Christmas Gift But Aint That Box Office Suicide? thoughts?...
Do You Think Their Tweaking With The Visual Effects To Be Better..Is That The Reason For Being Delayed.?
i think FOX probably know a liitle more about good release dates than we do, remember they want big dollar returns more than we do, another 3 weeks is not going to kill us
...and yes i agree wif shrek too, bout da 1st film, it had its moments but all an' all i quite enjoyed it
But it was no fight scenes but two and they wernt even fight scenes barely thats what upset me
In the trailer when wolf had his whip on his back it looked like a sword case do u guys think he will have a sword or am i looking at it wrong? that would be kewl..
Whats opening the friday before? 01/18/08 is out then a week later is JOHN RAMBO whats out on the 11th of January?
All I can say is "yikes". Ah, well. It's only a couple weeks. We've had to wait this long. Surprisingly, this actually didn't upset me as much as I thought it would. A release on Christmas day is just stupid to begin with. Especially considering the type of movie this is. lol :D We'll have to see whether this is true or not. :-\ I figured this movie was going to get pushed back untill 2008. I have to agree with SHREK. Although the first AVP, wasn't perfect, there were several mistakes and a few things I would've done different, I still really enjoyed it. lol Most of the animosity is downright unjustifiable. Especially some of the rabid, blood-thirsty fans who want Anderson's head on a platter. Good grief. :-\
Right, Hicks over at AXP was told the same as me. Still on for Xmas.
1-18-08 is the release date for U.K but not for USA. It still comeing out on X-mass. So don't worry people . ;) . http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0758730/releaseinfo
damn, why it takes such a long time to release the green band trailer?
BMH... We hate Anderson because of what he did to the predators, P 1 and P 2 were awesome, the alien saga was already in a downward spiral, I'd love to see a Predator 2 directors cut NC17 hddvd someday...I only hope AVP R will bring it all back!
guys theres a update on the article that the story about the release for america is not true!!! It's still on X-MAS just go back to the article and it would say update that says the official release date is still slated for XMAS so TOO BAD LONG WAITERS!!!
>:( grrrr its not in Jan for US. Its Jan for UK! If you want, you can go onto Planetavp.com and join becasue Ian Whyte is there and he's been answering quetions. Ask him if the date was changed again, but Its not changed esp. if have 2 trailers that have a christmas date on it.
I thought it seemed kind of crazy to have christmas on the trailer and play silent night and then all the sudden change their mind. Oh well, I wouldnt expect alot on christmas but that coming weekend (after xmas) it could do well. It could also do well over new years weekend. Thats two holiday weekends for it to make money, but it has alot of competition too.
no that that is for international release date... damm! but usually you can get a screener dvd after 1 week or 1 day to download a torrent that happened when avp1 was released on mexico few years ago... looking foward to dvd next may... :P
If this movie comes out at 1-18-08, then there is no way that i am going to see AVPR on day one, I will go see Abrams cloverfield/1-18-08/overnight/wreck, before i see AVPR. PERIOD!
I heard that this was the international release date, any proof of that???
I liked AVP it wasn't brilliant but i liked it I think AVP-R coming out at christmas is fine with me I mean f**k, we're all gonna watch it and lets face it wasn't there a horror movie last year called Black Christmas released on Christmas Day
Well if it does get released in January it would have no competition and will make lot's of money then they'll make AVP3.
:D i would love 2 see AVPR this coming Christmas 25th. Who doesn't? I do. No matter what! No changing the date of the movie, PLEASE! I CAN'T LEAD A ARMY, I might not b me so it has 2 b u so u got 2 stop this, stop this from happening!
Ahh F**K sake....why does it always come out so much later in the UK? foregin countries get it before we do and theres has 2 be dubbed in their language...we live across the pond from the US and Austrailia is opposite side of the world to them and they get it before us!!!! >:(
US released date 25th December 2007 is still on! And the other date, 18th Januar 2008 is the international premier! http://joblo.com/arrow/index.php?id=9282
Good... I don't want to be last in line to see our own shit!
no doubt if it comes out elsewhere 1st there'l b copies of it over hear...this cud cost the bros
IRT to pretty much everyone: I told you so.
Looks like Australia is still getting the 26 Dec release date though. ;D http://www.greaterunion.com.au/movies/6548/Alien-Vs-Predator-2.htm
few... i got realy scared for a moment :o
Hey gb, hows it goin dude? my ideal release date? hmmm. Well the U.S release date should be Dec 28th, and the the U.K should be Jan 4th. There both relesed on a friday, its after xmas and should be no problems..the title also could be the same AVP-R in the U.K & U.S because the releases are so close Rock On! ;D
Great... The international release a.k.a. UK release keeps getting postponed... from 14 to 18... before we know it, it ill be a full month between the US and UK releases... Well, more time to check the initial feedback... ;)
oh & the austrailian release date should be same as the U.S. the further the apart the release date's are, more chance of piracy dvd's and critic's slating the movie which mite change ur opinion without giving the movie a fair chance. Rock On!
Yes, Optimus, that too... ;) I had a secret hope the 18th could be both the US and International release, but that would bea sking too much of poor old Fox... ::) Well, it's their loss... ;D ;)
well going up against the j.j.abrams film is probably an even more stupid idea so christmas is fine(kind of)
Predator's RULE!!
How to be like a predator:http://www.elanguageschool.net/martialartstutor/aikido
Predator's rule? Well of course they 'rock' haha Rock On!
First i thought it was true.But why would the put Silent Night on their trailer if it doesnt release on x-mas that would be very stupid so i know its on for x-mas still..
they cud mean just in the christmas holiday ALIEN TAILWHIP....not necisarily on christmas day
No delay for U.S. release? *phew* lol
Thank God for sequels with most of the crap they put out these days I' de rather see a sequel to something that's already good. Aliens, Predator, Terminator, Robocop etc. Have any of you seen the Trailer for the new RAMBO movie? It looks awsome.
yeah but i doubt it GB it just wouldnt make it as good as to see it on x-mas...Now thats a gift from santa.. AVP 2. i got my wish list
rambo does luk gud like-PK. OPTIMUS, av u changed ur name or iz it a diffrent guy? and yea ATW it wud b a gud gift, im jst not gettin my hopes up.
oh man im gonna end up watchin avp requiem on TVlinks cus if its already online befgore the UK release i wont b able to control myself
i cant wait for this movie
QUESTION?? WHAT OTHER WEAPONS DO YOU THINK HE WILL HAVE BASED ON THE INFO THEY GAVE US..SWORD OR PLASMA BOMB PERHAPS
I just paused it and i seen when the predator is holding the aliens up he turns to the left alien and i paused it on that exact moment and he has his shoulder cannon red laser beam pointed on his head..he probably shoots the one on the left with his cannon and does hand to hand combat to the one on the right..cuz that would make the fight scene more intense plus the straus bros said they did in camera angles in fight scenes to make it seem like your theres so hand to hand combat would seem more intense and believable..
opinions or thoughts?
plus when he whipped the alien in half on his backside like i said b4 he had a case i think on his back almost looked like a sword case can anyone find a production still and tell me what it is..cuz to me its a sword that he used already cuz it was empty unless im looking at it from the wrong angle...when he was swinging his whip back it looked like a case on his back..plz sumone answer my ?
matter of fact i just went back to the whip scene he does have a sword on his back i can see it..im sure u ppl prob wont agree but to me its a sword and its in there i thought it was empty but i see now that i paused it that its a sword..
Wolf has a sword i paused it on the spot b4 he whips the alien in half he swings it back and there u can see he has a sword..im pretty positive thats one of his new weapons..cuz in alot of AVP comics they have a sword that would be awesome to see..
Speaking of the razor whip... did anybody else notice in the RB trailer when wolf faces of with "Chet" *briefly shutters* in the rain (right after he extends his spear, no wisecracks guys lol), it appears he tried to razor whip her but it wrapped around her tail (either by mistake, or she countered) and she yanks it out of his hand and it goes flying into the background? Good stuff. lol :D ;) Although, I'm still having trouble believing it's capable of cutting an alien warrior in half. Like a chainsaw. ::)
I knew the 18th was just the u.k release date lol. we can all relax,! what's this about the predator having a sword? that cant be right, not sure if i like the idea! he aint a jedi knight! mite be cool! we'll have 2 see, but a 'hand' canon and a sword make's him more human, anyone agree? Rock On!
Hey gb! yeh man i decided 2 change my name to optimus virus! lol do u like it? i do! :) Man i cant wait for this movie! Rock On!
A lot of complete nutters on this site. It's worse than IMDB.
I guess we'll have to wait a little longer :-\
>:( I HOPE ITS NOT TRUE!!!!I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG!!!!! >:(
I don't care what I get for Christmas as long as I get to see Pred. kick some alien a.. !
:o >:( :( WTF!!!This is an outrage!!!!
