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.
