Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving, when families stay together and often go
to the theater, whether school is out or not IMO.
Carol responds:

But thanksgiving is a holiday only in America (Canadian thanksgiving
is about a month earlier, IMO, and other countries don't celebrate the
holiday at all) whereas July 17 is right in the middle of summer
vacation for just about everyone. The kids will be out of school for a
month and a half to two months after the release date instead of just
two days plus a weekend (in one country) for November 21.

Unless I'm mistaken, the movie is being delayed everywhere, not just
in the U.S. (If I'm wrong, and we Americans are the only ones who
won't get to see it in November, I *will* be upset!

Carol, who agrees with Alla that money is WB's primary motive but
thinks that summer is a better bet than a U.S. holiday for drawing
kids and teenagers to movie theaters worldwide
