And the So-Full-Of-It-They’re-Choking Award Goes to: Miramax.

Just thought I’d point out that Boxofficemojo.com has quoted Amanda Lundberg, Head of Miramax’s Worldwide Relations giving the official reason why they handled the “Hero” release the way they did. Ready? Here it is:

“We wanted to get some distance from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. We didn’t want to go when Asia went.”
Ummm .. Ahem…. Crouching Tiger was released in December 2000. How much distance do you need? Nearly half-a-decade ain’t enough for ya?

If the so-called “distance” thing was true, they would have made “distance” from using Quentin Tarantino’s name so close to Kill Bill’s release. But of course, no one pays me to think of these earth shattering conclusions. Dummies.
