Yeah I didn't get that one either. The only thing that I could think of is that everyone would be busy at that time - I know Hugh is doing his arena tour then.

Great pics Narrows. :up:

I hope the film does as well as expected in Japan. I wasn't sure if they would bother promoting X3 properly now that it has been out for so long everywhere else so this is a very good sign.

Maybe thats the reason but its still something like 2 months ahead of time. Fox probably thought better early than never.

Elektra and FF did well there for Fox and they sent cast members out to promote those movies there too.:)

Yay, I'll be there in like three weeks.

I wonder if they feel awkward doing foreign media... because they look it.

to be honest F4 did only $9 million in japan. It openig weekend was $1.1 million. So ya it did not do well there BUT it had great legs.

Do you think they are all tired out and ready to move on from promoting this movie? I would be ...

They sure get around. Cannes, Canada, Korea, NYC, California, London, never a dull day :)

But that is kinda wierd to promote a movie that early. Wonder how crazy the promotion campaign is over there. By now the fans should know that there's some deception involved if they happen to be Angel or Cyclops fans

Yeah like antariksh already said, FF made $9,081,369 in Japan. I'm not sure about Elektra i do remember that it opened well but i'm not sure what it made cause the info was in the Elektra Hype! boards and thats been buried now. Bob Sapp went their to the premiere and stuff.

All in all i think its worth the effort to send the cast to Japan.

Thks Retro & Antariksh.

I agree, it is worth making a good marketing effort in Japan if we can get more than the X1/X2 gross there.

Halle does have one of the best bodies of Hollywood...Famke is ok but Hugh looks really old in the hat pics...

Old? I donīt think so...besides, Hugh always has had many lines around his eyes since I can remember , that appear specially when heīs smiling or laughing.
He always looks gorgeous to me! :):up:

The premiere was at a university. I have to imagine it's part of the university's garb for formal events.

don't understand why the film will be released later in some countries, and so late... bad move

Happens all the time with movies - sometimes years!! Hugh's movie The Fountain comes out in the US on Oct. 13 - but it doesn't come out in the UK until March 2007! The darn thing will be out on DVD by then (and possibly be nominated for some Oscars and perhaps win some by then!).
