Hi Krin,

Big Trouble and Collateral Damage were pushed into 2002; Warners 
hurriedly moved Training Day into Collateral's Sept. 28 bookings.  
Gangs of New York was postponed for a year.  One of the films on your 
list, Black Hawk Down, actually had its release moved up from March 
2002 to Dec. 2001 in order to capitalize on a perceived market for 
patriotic war films.  I keep thinking there were even more examples, 
but those are the ones that I know.
