Amazingly, the new Thunderbirds movie has fared so poorly in its initial countries, that Universal has pulled the plug on further theatrical releases. This means that if the movie has not yet opened in your country, it may never open in cinemas. Instead, Universal will adopt a "straight to video" strategy in an effort to cut costs and recoup some of the film's expense. Countries likely to be affected include Australia, Asia and South America. I guess the first step to recovery is admitting there is a problem. Now, where did I put Peter Jackson's phone number...?
