"Your Highness" is still being edited. David Gordon Green is being really open to the editing process, and isn't sure on the third act. I saw the previous test screening from our co-worker, and I can assure it's very smart filmmaking with great humor (like Eastbound and Down, but medieval). It's very quotable and memorable, and luckily DGG had everyone improvise (hates scripts).
The effects are great to look at. The concept designers are some of the best and open in the business. It's not really nostalgic to see the effects, but admirable to see a very well down effects film not drained by CGI, but enhanced.
We're hearing that DGG pushed for a further release date. Which isn't unusual of a film this size, but I think they should be announcing in the next six months or so that they'll be releasing it in May-ish.

Putting 'The Adjustment Bureau' on the 17th puts it right during the middle of the Toronto Film Festival this year. I wonder if Oscar watchers will be paying much attention to its release with bigger Awards season buzz going on.

Re: Paul Blart – even the studio was shocked at how well that film did. They were not expecting it to be the smash hit that it was.

Re: January 14 opening for Cheaters. This year "Book of Eli" opened to $30 million on that January weekend. The year before, it was "Paul Blart" turning the trick. So, yeah. Not right.
