Why would they open Alien Vs. Predator on the weekend that all us hip geeks will be at Wizard World? The whole convention center is going to be filled with downcast nerds itching to be in a movie theater watching the ultimate deathmatch movie! And forget sneaking off to catch it there; I can’t imagine trying to get a seat opening weekend in CHICAGO is going to be much fun.
By the way, I’ve just rewatched the Alien Quadrilogy and I have to say that the Alien franchise is kinda overblown. I mean, they’re just a bunch of deadly animals that crumple in the face of firepower, which is why their opponents in the movies are always humans who are unarmed, unprepared, untrained or outnumbered. The anti-corporate hysteria is also a bit tiresome…though I loved the deleted scene from Alien: Resurrection where a doctor mentions that the Weyoun-Yutani corporation got bought out by Wal-Mart.
