Thor will destroy a generic Nolan sci-fi flick. Even if it's a good film (I'm thinking Serenity meets The Prestige) it still won't draw in general audiences. The Prestige was an October release but the Nolan/Bale/Jackman draw didn't generate any box office. TDK has NO effect here, unless Heath Ledger is resurrected to star in the sc-fi flick.
That's not the first time I've read that same thought and I have to ask - in what way is WB in any position to judge if Marvel will make the date (they aren't following Marvel's internal developments), and is not Thor further along than Inception? Branagh was hired 5 months ago and spent those five months fine tuning the story/script and is now casting the lead, whereas WB just purchased Inception's script a couple of weeks ago, if that.It could also mean that WB is very skeptical about Marvel meeting their announced dates and is positioning themselves to take advantage of any delays.

Indeed, and that's the way it should be, imo.
Why draw lines in the sand? Just enjoy all of these movies, regardless of what comic company they come from.
I think WB is playing "chicken". I think they've been watching the goings on with Thor. They're concerned about the possible sucess of Thor and what that means for The Avengers and any others such as Cap, Ant man etc. But now with this casting call for a young Thor , WB sees a crack. If Marvel holds their ground, I can see WB moving their date.
Either way, I'm seeing Thor when it comes out. t:
