POA - coming out June or May?

[Cristina Rebelo Ângelo]

I live in France, but go to Portugal regularly. I was there during December,
and got a chance to finally see the POA poster!!! 

However, in Portugal, the date announced on the poster is May 2004. Not
June. More: one of my friends is the guy who actually buys the films for
this big multiplex company (both exhibit and distribution). He also told me
the film is coming out in May. I tried to correct him, and said June 4th,
but he just looked at me and repeated "May". And that was all I could get
from him. The poster on his theater had no date. The date I saw was in
another theater - that actually belongs to his company. Warner Bro's site
sticks to June 4th. I don't think there's a possibility my friend is
wrong... He has to organize at least his multiplex events, timeline,
whatever...

Premieres are on Fridays in Portugal. June 4th is a Friday. They are
planning to advance premieres to Thursdays, but that would make it, in May,
either the 27th or the 28th. Avant-premieres on Wednesdays or Tuesdays are
not unheard of (his multiplex had TROK showing on a Tuesday, an exclusive in
Portugal, when it was due to open the following Friday), but then the media
gets to watch it some two weeks before the general public (like TROK). He
wouldn't have been so "affirmative" if he was talking about the media show.
So. Apparently, someone in Portugal is going to show POA, to the general
public, the latest on May 31...

This has obviously been negotiated with Warner Bros, it is public (there's
an announcement of that date in one of the posters). I really can't imagine
this is a world premiere, so there are other theatres, everywhere, with this
planned...

"Quand on n'a que l'amour/ Pour tracer un chemin/ Et forcer le destin/ A
chaque carrefour
Quand on n'a que l'amour/ Pour parler aux canons/ Et rien qu'une chanson/
Pour coinvancre un tambour
Alors sans avoir rien/ Que la force d'aimer/ Nous aurons dans nos mains/
Amis le monde entier"
