Renee Zellweger’s Case 39, which has been the subject of intense scrutiny and a raftload of rumors in its own right, has apparently, finally, managed to land a release date. Specifically, this will be busting out on New Years Day 2010, likely so the studio could buy off a critic or two into calling this “The most suspenseful title of 2010″ or “the scariest movie this year”.
Although, to be fair, New Years Day IS on a Friday this year so it likely would’ve ended up that way anyway, but it does seem pretty clear that the studio doesn’t have a whole lot of faith in this one. Paramount’s the one releasing this one, and considering how often this one’s played musical release dates I can see why they’d choose to bury it in the deep dark ice-lined hole that is January.
I’m hopeful, however, that this one isn’t as bad as its scheduling suggests it will be, and have some hope that it’ll at least be watchable. But then, I’m weird that way.
