Australia Moved back after Bond

Looks like more shuffling is happening in the void left by Harry Potter now dominated by Bond. It looks like the period piece Australia will now skip itself back a couple weeks.

InContention says:

Jeff Wells reports that the release date for Baz Luhrmann’s vast period romance “Australia” has been pushed back from November 14 to November 26.

I just couldn’t imagine that it was good news for this movie to get a change of format for competition that month. They likely didn’t think that Harry Potter would be a big competition, but a film like this might just appeal to the more mature crowd that will make up half of Bond’s draw.

I like period movies, but mostly because my wife made me start watching them. I get fascinated by the peek we get at a historical time and social values that are long forgotten. These are things that the Harry Potter crowd wouldnt likely have to make a tough choice on.

But now the more discerning Bond crowd would be challenging for cinema seats, so they moved it.

But honestly, will it make that much of a difference? One week before or after Bond? Is there enough crossover to worry in the first place?
