Yeah, I don't see this move as a negative for Elysium. And this way they'll have more time to come with a great marketing campaign like or better than the one for District 9.

Another great positive though is for Park Chan-Wook's Stoker. As much I love his work and want to see this film, I feel like it wouldn't make much money battling against Blomkamp's latest. But now that it is all by itself, it can easily turn a profit. At least I hope it does…

district 9 had an August release with zero star power Anne did pretty will in the buzz office. I don't see any cause to worry here

The real issue here is not the budget but the fact it is being pushed back 5 months. That's something that bears a real significance – and speaks in favour of rumors that some key players consider the latest cut to be quite a letdown.

Elysium was made for less than $100 million and originally sold to Sony for $125 million. The difference, I assume, went to Media Rights Capital or it came in seriously UNDER budget. So I'm not sure where the $200 million figure comes from. This is the fist time I have heard this number used.

Amanda already beat me to the punch – but yeah, "Elysium" is only carrying a budget around $90-$100 million.

If anything, pushing the movie back to a summer release leaves me feeling more encouraged.

Where do you get 200million? in almost every comic con interview Blomkamp said that it was made for less than 100mil with tax credits.

Other than the fact that I now have to wait for a highly anticipated movie I think its a good thing and a good sign.
