• "The studio had scheduled (the film)... to open on Christmas Day, a Saturday. But the Western...will now hit theaters on Wednesday to get an early jump on the long holiday weekend. The move could be a sign of the studio's confidence in the picture, since the film will now go head-to-head with the Universal comedy Little Fockers and the Fox adventure-comedy Gulliver's Travels."—Jay A.
