But it means that basically Cabin and Avengers will premiere less than one month apart from each other, at least in United States.
I do wonder however if we'll see Cabin appearing in the fall 2011 movie festival circuits around the world.

And Numfar PTB, do movie festivals show films that already appeared at a festival as big as Cannes? I don't know how these things work.

(ideally it'd be better if it was further away from 'The Avengers', as in later this year, just to spread the Jossy - & Drewy - goodness but what's perfect in this life ?)
...anybody think Lionsgate chose this date to ride the hype for The Avengers?
Makes sense. It's also a fairly quiet time of the year while not being the traditional Jan/Feb/March dumping ground for dross. Then there's the "Friday the 13th" thing which is good marketing for a horror movie. Or maybe they tossed a coin ;).

Angel got cancelled on a Friday the 13th, Dollhouse Season One premiered on a Friday 13th and now Cabin gets released on the 13th. I'm not supersupitious but jeez.
Simon | July 20, 22:20 CET
If Lionsgate really wanted to take advantage of The Avengers, this movie would come out after The Avengers. So that everyone who enjoyed it would be drawn to a movie written by The Avenger' writer and director. They already have Chris Hemsworth which can't be bad for box-office. I think nothing would change if they released it this Halloween instead of April 2012.
I really love Cloverfield and I'm sure I'll love this too.

Friday the 13th? Really?
Simon, quit worrying about those pesty numbers, have faith! And, if it does crash and burn, think about all those fruits and various meats you can toss! :)
Seriously, crossing fingers and toes for a success. I'm thinking it will be.

Dollhouse Season One was renewed despite terrible ratings, so... not all bad.

Yeah, the future looks pretty bright, guess we better focus where the fixin's are good! :)

UK definitely having wide cinema release.
Quoties!
"This is a movie that operates on many levels, and it works gloriously on every one of them." -- Joe Drake, Lionsgate.
"Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard are two filmmakers who I have long admired, and it's an honor and a delight to be in business with them. They've made an incredibly terrifying, mind-blowing movie that simultaneously celebrates and innovates the genre that they both know and love so well." -- Jason Constantine, Lionsgate.
"Lionsgate's passion and enthusiasm for our movie has been so overwhelming, I had to go back and make sure we didn't accidentally screen The Godfather for them. Fortunately, we did not. We couldn't be happier at our new home." -- Drew
"I'm thrilled that Cabin has landed at Lionsgate because they get and love the film and I'm excited to be working with them on the release." -- joss

This brings to mind something Joss wrote over at Bronze Beta back in 2002:
I, for one, am looking forward to a humanist horror flick!
