Alice in Wonderland Boycott Reversed

Here is the information about a new released disney dvd Alice in Wonderland.British cinema chain Odeon has reached a deal with Walt Disney Studios regarding the 3-D movie Alice in Wonderland, reversing a previously announced boycott of the film, reports CBC. The flick, which opens across Europe and North America March 5, will be screened in Odeon’s theatres throughout the United Kingdom, Ireland and Italy.

Director Tim Burton’s take on the classic story premiered Thursday night in London’s West end at Leicester Square cinema, owned by Odeon, mere hours after the agreement was reached.

Following “detailed negotiations with the Walt Disney Company Ltd., an enduring agreement has been reached encompassing all the different aspects of both companies’ commercial relationship,” Odeon announced in a statement.

The United Kingdom’s largest theatre chain announced its plans to boycott the film in three countries early this week because of Disney’s plans to release the movie on DVD 12 weeks after its theatrical debut. The typical time span between when a movie hits theatres and when it is appears in stores on DVD is 17 weeks. Cineworld and Vue, Odeon’s rival theatre chains, agreed to a 13-week window between the opening and the DVD release.That's a good news or bad news?
