In the September 2, 2004 issue of Variety, staff writer Dana Harris reports on Miramax’s updated schedule of fall film releases. Although the cash-strapped studio is postponing several planned 2004 openings to 2005, FINDING NEVERLAND’s North American release date is listed as November 12, 2004. Thanks to DeepinDepp for the good news!

Variety’s information is supported by the Miramax website. As Hibblette reported, the site was updated yesterday and it also lists the FINDING NEVERLAND release date as November 12th (this is a change from their previously reported date of October 22, 2004). Although several media outlets, including Entertainment Weekly, have been reporting that the November 12th release would be limited to the top ten markets, with a wide release to follow the day before Thanksgiving, the Miramax advertisement on the Upcoming Films page on its website now says “In theaters everywhere November 12th.” We’ll keep our fingers crossed that this is Miramax’s final word on the matter. We want to make plans and buy tickets!
