Okay... call me crazy but I am starting to get a little concerned. They've pulled the rug out from under us before and I have yet to see a single trailer for this on TV. They haven't decided to release this ONLY in the major cities, have they? Or pushed the date back again? If anyone has any fresh info on the wide release, (July 27th last I heard) please give me a heads-up! Thanks...  |

LY for you, rei! You never fail to impress me with your "bright" knowledge.  Also, I hope they give Sunshine two thumbs up, a handshake, and a pat on the back. |

I hear that it will only open on 400 screens on July 27. Does anyone know which cities/theaters will show it? That does not sound like a very wide release nationwide... any chance of expanding to 1000 screens or something more typical? I really would like a shot at seeing this before DVD.
