Alice In Wonderland soon to become Alice In Neverland?
... it seems that our friends at Disney have caused a bit of a stir with the release of their new Alice In Wonderland movie.
"The UK's biggest cinema chains are set to boycott Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, due out on 5 March, because of a dispute with Disney over the release window.
Disney wants to cut the gap between the theatrical opening and the DVD release to just 12 weeks, down from the standard 17 weeks. The big exhibitors refuse to book any film that doesn't have a guaranteed four-month theatrical run."
Quote taken from the Guardian, the full article is here:

Since this article was written apparently Cineworld have come to an agreement but the jury is still out on whether or not Odeon or Vue will still go ahead with the boycott.
It's a complete joke considering the amount of money that has been spent on advertising this little gem. It will totally suck if the boycott does go ahead!
