Dragonball Z has not been on my hot list of movies to see later in the summer season, but it looks like those who were waiting for it are going to have to wait a little longer.
20th Century Fox has pushed back the studios’ big screen Dragonball adaptation from August 15, 2008 to April 3, 2009. On the old date, it was facing The International, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Tropic Thunder and Wild Child, while it is currently by itself on the new date.
I could see DragonBall Z not faring well against Star Wars that weekend. Dragonball Z has its following, but there is a great amount of potential for animation fans to want to see the Star Wars series pilot on the big screen is too much for them to overlook.
It makes sense to bump it out of the way, but that is a REALLY big bump. They are pushing that into the next season.
