Fox Rethinks From Justin to Kelly

Trying to set the all-time record in how fast a film can go from theaters to video, 20th Century Fox had scheduled From Justin to Kelly to be released on June 13 with a video release just six weeks later.

But now in an effort to ensure that its theatrical run would be played in the nation's largest theater chains, the studio has moved its home video window of the American Idol movie back another six weeks after numerous theatrical exhibitors balked at the original video date.

The studio is now looking to bring it to home video probably in early September. Fox had been fighting with several of the country's leading exhibitors who had threatened to not play the film if the timings between the release windows remained so tight. Now that Fox has compromised and moved the window back six weeks, most of the exhibitors have agreed to play the film.
