Hugh Jackman says he's "heartbroken" over the recent online leak of X- Men Origins: Wolverine, comparing people seeing the unfinished version of the movie to a Ferrari without its paint. It remains to be seen how the piracy will impact the box office, but I think in the long run the movie will recover.
Kind of lost in that debacle was the very cool decision by Fox to hold an online contest for the U.S. premiere of the film on April 27th. The winning city will be announced on April 20th, so there's still time to vote.
The list of the top ten cities in terms of votes has been released by Fox and while it's not a guarantee that one of these places will hold the premiere, it's a safe bet that if they're leading to this point, knowing they have a legitimate chance to host Jackman, other cast members, and the freakin' Wolverine movie might increase activity in those locations.
Davis, California
Hastings, Nebraska
Austin, Texas
Melbourne, Florida
Dallas, Texas
San Antonio, Texas
Las Vegas, Nevada
Tempe, Arizona
Chicago, Illinois
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Selfishly, I'd kind of like Tempe, Arizona to win, since that theater is literally about four miles from my house. And since I know we have a ton of locals who read The Big Picture, I'll gently encourage you to vote. Also, if we're playing Cinderella rules, there's certainly an appeal for Hastings, Nebraska here, too.
Go to X-MenOrigins.com/Premiere to vote. And good luck to all the cities, except the ones in Texas.
