I've been saying this for months. It would have been better if they had held it till this holiday season than to release it in May! It's not just that May was busy. It's that May was full of films FAMILIES were going to go see. Obviously, they underestimated Indy's appeal, but the bigger problem was they didn't see Iron Man coming. Very few people in Hollywood predicted it was going to do this well even in the week before its release, much less months ago when Disney made this decision. We'll just have to hope that Caspian does really well on DVD. Now they realize this was a mistake? I’ve been saying this for months.
