Page 1 of hero number 1 in america

i know this film has been mentioned rather a lot on here in the past, and rightly so, but its just had its opening weekend in the states and it went in at number one. not bad for a two year old film that has been messed about a lot, had its release date shifted countless times, and had no real promotion or release when it was up for best foreign film at the oscars last year.

like a lot of people ive had the dvd for over a year and to be honest wasent going to go and see it if it came out at the cinema over here, mainly because it feels like its quite old know. but having read several reviews about seeing it on the big screen, one from aicn, i think i will check it out, as i havent seen it on dvd for a few months. anyone know if it has a release date?

also the new film from the same director, house of the flying daggers, has a release date of december 3rd, i think,in america, from sony pictures who i think released crouching tiger, so all goes well for a release here in the new year, fingers crossed.

It has a limited release over here in September or October, I think. I was surprised too when it hit the top spot in America.

i know it was a slow week in the states, anaconda 2, but still great to see it getting the attention it finally deserves. lets just hope that films make it to our screens quicker in the future, then maybe we can see them on the big screen first, then import them second.

i see shoalin soccer is coming out region one soon, i dare to think what state that is in. the trailer for stephen chows new film is up at monkey peaches.

Incase anyone was wondering.......

Shoalin Soccer priced £6.99 at cd-wow, is infact multiregion NOT region 3 as stated on the site.

I didn`t really like Hero; found it a bit dissapointing, when I`d heard such great things about it.
