Deadline are reporting that Paramount have pushed Gi Joe: Retaliation back all the way from it's original June 29th release date to March 29th of next year. That's another 9 months for fans to wait to see The Rock and co do their thing. The reason for the drastic pushback? Money of course! Paramount plan to convert the movie to 3D after seeing how much better Box Office other post-converted movies have done.



A studio exec tells Deadline..

“We’re going to do a conscientious 3D job because we’ve seen how it can better box office internationally. Jim Cameron did all of Titanic‘s 3D in post – and look how well that movie turned out.”


The March release date was also chosen because of how well The Hunger Games did when it was released a couple of months ago. I'm not a big Joe fan but this must really grind your gears if you are. Sound off below.

PaulRom - 5/23/2012, 1:43 PM
They could've at least done this a couple months ago, before marketing was in full swing. But at the last minute? Ridiculous.

Don't blame James Cameron Paramount, blame Michael Bay.
jazzman - 5/23/2012, 1:55 PM
@teabag

Themercwiththemouthsback - 5/23/2012, 1:58 PM
F*CK THIS F*CKING SHIT , well if it comes out next year i dont give a crap anymore about it f*ck gi joe.
Gigacrusher45 - 5/23/2012, 1:58 PM
This is stupid. No movie does good BECAUSE it's post converted. It does good because it's A GOOD MOVIE. Damn it to hell.
DoomXfactor - 5/23/2012, 2:00 PM
WOW that's lame lol
nowtheresaBATman - 5/23/2012, 2:01 PM
Duke Tatum's "Magic Mike" movie was set to release the same week as this so they probably figured it'd be to much competition. lol
RorMachine - 5/23/2012, 2:02 PM
Patient Zero, it's not a rumor, it's been confirmed.
Spideyguy94 - 5/23/2012, 2:03 PM
This decision could also be the fact that it's coming out just 5 days before TASM which could damage it's box office numbers heavily
TheGambitFreakIsBatmanOfCBM - 5/23/2012, 2:03 PM
HOLY SHIT! When I saw this, I thought this was some April Fools shit! HAHA! This is awesome!!



I am Batshit Happy with this news! HAHA!
Wildaniel - 5/23/2012, 2:05 PM
This is HORRIBLE! I really cant believe it. The movie was gonna come out next month, I mean I friggin saw a t.v. spot the other day, they already have toys at Walmart!!!!

I really hope is a re-shoot, then bring back Scarlet, The Baroness, and Destro! Then I would be happy.
DoomXfactor - 5/23/2012, 2:05 PM
I guess they wait.....
Knightrider - 5/23/2012, 2:05 PM
I do blame Cameron for this. If it wasn't for him pushing cinema technology backwards, but doubling movie profits this kinda stuff wouldn't happen.

3D should be like shots and sounds in a movie, only used to aid the stories progression, so far I am yet to watch a 3D film, where afterwards U have said "Thank god for all that 3D or I would not have understood it at all"
felixxx - 5/23/2012, 2:06 PM
3D MOVIES SUCK FAT BALLS. Just because of "conversion to 3D" is the reason for the delay, im not seeing it in the theater AT ALL! Good job DIP S---S,now theres one less ticket for your box office numbers, F---ing F-----S!
nowtheresaBATman - 5/23/2012, 2:07 PM
We can always see Duke in MAGIC MIKE!
Knightrider - 5/23/2012, 2:07 PM
@Nomis although some films have had that ploy, I must say I enjoyed Avengers, but there were at least 4 or 5 shots where stuff came towards the camera, which is pretty cheesy.
CaptainObvious - 5/23/2012, 2:08 PM
Despite this shocking news, I had no interest in seeing this movie anyway. The first one was terrible, so I have no plans to see the sequel.
blkyank - 5/23/2012, 2:10 PM
This is great news for The Amazing Spider-Man.Now it has the forth of July to itself.
Sony should move spidey from it's tuesday opening to friday June 29th so it gets
3 whole weeks before TDKR comes out.
JasonCYates - 5/23/2012, 2:12 PM
[frick] 3D, just release the damn film, I don't know anybody who is jazz about it in 3D anyway.
mrexcellent - 5/23/2012, 2:13 PM
That's like a huge slap in the face to the people who were looking forward to seeing this movie in its intended format. I'm shocked that they would be so forward about it. Then again, what else would they say that wouldn't sound worse?

With that in mind, I think TASM needs to snag GI Joe's release date. It could use a full 3 weeks to itself at the Box Office before Batman comes in. I believe it will be a decent movie, and I want it to do well. I don't care if it breaks any records, but right now it's at, what? Two weeks, four days of alone time? I think TASM could use a little more space.
2gold - 5/23/2012, 2:13 PM
This could explain why all the ads just up and stopped for the movie. Unbelievable. So now, you tick off the few people would had some mild interest and hope they wait until next year? This is a stupid decision.
evil40 - 5/23/2012, 2:13 PM
If this is true than [frick] this movie and [frick] 3D! 3d doesnt add shit to movies unless its all completely done that way like avatar. I loved the avengers but was pissed that i paid $15 for the lame assed 3d in that!
NeoBaggins - 5/23/2012, 2:13 PM
So, you know what this means, right?

I won't be caring... in 3D
shaunmagg - 5/23/2012, 2:14 PM
Bad form, Paramount Pictures, bad form
CaptainObvious - 5/23/2012, 2:15 PM
Does anybody care about 3D anymore?
kenmac718 - 5/23/2012, 2:18 PM
Mother F*** U Paramount. This is a dumb ass move. 3D not even worth the damn wait. This better be a damn good movie to have people to wait even longer to see.
shaunmagg - 5/23/2012, 2:18 PM
avengers was in 3d and look how good that did. lol idiot.. takes a little more then 3D to make a movie enjoyable.
AvengeCoulson - 5/23/2012, 2:19 PM
oh come on really i hope it isn't true and if it is they are probably afraid of the competition im mean ill probably catch hell for it but id rather see this movie then amazing spider man
Tevii - 5/23/2012, 2:20 PM
If this is true, this movie automatically became a movie Ill download. Thats just pissing all over the fans
Dickel - 5/23/2012, 2:20 PM
How average! This angers me... 3d blows.
Knightrider - 5/23/2012, 2:21 PM
@Ramon The difference being Tony Stark wanted to use his suit for good and not profit, whereas Hammer was happy to sell it to the highest bidder.

For that analogy to work that would suggest Cameron is using it purely for the good of cinema and story telling, which he clearly is not, he is using it for profit just as much as anyone else using it, it is his fault as 3D was dead until he should the World "Hey, you don't need decent characters, plots or acting, just use 3D and you'll have some big dollars"

djohnpi - 5/23/2012, 2:21 PM
Now is this smart? DAMMMM
shaunmagg - 5/23/2012, 2:22 PM
well avengers it wasn't filmed in 3d but neither was titanic either way don't base your sales on 3d. people go to watch their favorite characters and relive childhood memories and make new ones. and just like bay you ruin everything we loved about those memories.
Greengo - 5/23/2012, 2:25 PM
If this is true I'll never watch it
RorMachine - 5/23/2012, 2:26 PM
It's confirmed by Deadline! A trade doesn't report a rumor, and if it ever does it clearly marks it as one..they have quotes from Paramount executives right there.
