Best christmas prresent ever!!
SO BAD I WANT TO CRY...why do they do that..i can t wait till 11th..oh well..better than no johnny at all..
Is there a role Johnny's incapable of doing? I doubt it.The man is simply maavelous darlin'. It's Oscar for him this time, for sure!!

WOOOHOOOOOO I just got my Christmas present!!! Thanks Trish :)
I can't wait!
Jeg glæder mig helt vildt, - ikke mindst til at høre Johnny synge!!
Im so happy for you guys that you'll get to see it as your 'xmas present' lol! ..but over here in the UK, i have to wait till Jan 11th ;(
when the time comes though, pls some1 tell me what its like in the forums or something (without too much spoilers ofcourse!)
I know where i will be Christmas eve after visiting with the relatives!!! The theatre, enjoying a johnny depp film. something eventful to look forward to!
I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS A SMART MOVE, RELEASING A MOVIE, ON OF ALL DAY'S "CHRISTMAS"? I DON'T KNOW WHO IS DOING THE THINKING FROM THE MAJOR MOTION PIC. STUDIO'S, BUT I BELIEVE RELEASING POTC3 WHEN THEY DID HURT THE MOVIES BOX-OFFICE DRAW, (I BELIEVE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A LARGER GROSS), HAD THEY NOT RELEASED IT ON THE FIRST SUMMER HOLIDAY WEEKEND!! THE NUMBERS BACK ME UP! ALSO, SO CLOSE TO THE SPIDEY AND SHREK MOVIES!! EVEN, THOU IT DID VERY WELL, IT DIDN'T FAIR AS WELL AS IT COULD HAVE-- IF SOMEONE-- IN HOLLYWOOD, BEEN THINKING MORE CLEARLY!!! RELEASING "SWEENY TODD" ON X-MAS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA!!! PEOPLE ARE GONE, AND VISITING RELATIVES, NOT GOING TO THE MOVIES, (UNLESS ONE, HAS NO FAMILY)! I WOULD LOVE TO GO ON THAT DAY, TRUST ME I'M A DEPP FANATIC, BUT I HAVE FAMILY OBLIGATIONS, YOU CAN'T JUST BLOW OFF!! STUPID DECISION BY WHOMEVER IS THE MOVIE COMPANY INVOLVED HERE!!! HOPE IT DOESN'T AFFFECT TICKET SALES, LIKE POTC3??? THIS IS DEFINATELY NOT THE DAY TO RELEASE A DEPP FILM!!!
Love ya Johnny, but I will not be seeing this one. I don't like bloody movies. Would be great to see you in a love story.
I probuly will rent it becuse on christmas where are so busy they should wait till the major holidays are over!
I don't like bloody movies either, but I need to hear our Johnny sing!!
I can stand a little blood, if that's what it takes...
Johnny Fans don't care what day it comes out. We will be there as soon as Christmas Pie is over!
Hi paris anne read your comments with interest. No doubt im completely over reacting but theres part of me that thinks johnnys career is being affected (either deliberately or accidently) by some of the actions of studios or other people.
I think most johnny fans will agree that the publicity (or lack of it) was really badly handled by disney and now sweeny todd is being released on christmas day. In the words of john mcenroe `they cannot be serious` I am a total johnny nut but there is no way i can get to a cinema on christmas day. aside from family comitments there is no public transport here on christmas day (or boxing day for that matter)and my nearest cinema is about 30mins train ride away.
Sorry to rant on, but i really feel johnny, and his films, arnt being treated with the respect they deserve.
Thank God!
Ummm.... I definitely agree with Paris Anne. I guarantee you this will hurt box office sales. Even if there are people who can go on Christmas, it's a given that the majority of people won't. Not a smart move.
Good news. I'm planning to have a trip to the US to watch the film at Christmas!
im agreed about the christmas release is not good for the ticket sales but our johnny is not interested in box office anyways and what are you talking about potc 3? its number 1 this year and made $955 millions, i think its pretty good. isnt it?
coolie
Well, if Warners' is smart, they will advertise in a way that keys people to want to getta up n' go to the cinema & see J.D. It may be an economical Christmas present,(go see Johnny Depp at his gruesomest). Meaning, play up the fact this is slash & go, but Sweeney is killing for a reason, go see the flick to see why? Or ever see Depp sing,(no?) Well advertise NOW YOU CAN!! What critics say may actually help this time around, because they WANT to see something totally different!! Us Deppers will I think be surprised by what America will do.
I think too that early release of the movie will not do good to the box office. But definitely will do with the critics.
Just remined me Robert Rodrigers Grindhouse released on Ester day.
But I can be wrong, I hope for that.
There is some new poster of Sweeney Tod movie on website:
