If you have been following movie news over the past couple of weeks. You would have read or heard about The Avengers moving their opening up one week. Yes this puts it's release days during Spring League, but more on that later.
The splash that has been felt by this change has been the biggest. Rampage moved to early April while Overboard and Show Dogs now have release dates in May. Thank goodness for alternates, eh! The reason for the move? Disney wants to make more money. They felt the release dates for The Avengers and Han Solo were to close. Yes, maximizing profits won out.
As for our league, this means that The Avengers will now not be picked. This may have little or no impact. If we all think that it will have the biggest opening, then no loss. If you started looking ahead to the summer releases and think there is one or two better ... Han Solo, now we have a reason. There are three ways to handle this:
1.) Summer League starts at the normal time but leave The Avengers off
2.) Summer League starts at the normal time but add The Avengers to the list
3.) Move Summer League up the week before to include The Avengers
What say you?
