Twentieth Century Fox has set the domestic release of "Star Wars: Episode II -- Attack of the Clones" for Thursday, May 16
-- one day earlier than expected, with Europe to get the picture day-and-date or close to it, Variety reports.

Thursday is a little strange, but it'll do.

Edit: BTW here is the article for those who don't want to click:

"Around the world, many territories open on Thursdays," said Bruce Snyder, Fox's president of domestic distribution. "And because 'Star Wars' is such an international phenomenon, it seemed to make sense to go out on a standard date in as many places as possible."

The "Clones" debut falls eight days before the Memorial Day weekend.

"This way it gets in another weekend, as opposed to opening on the following Wednesday prior to Memorial Day weekend," Snyder said.

Fox will get a distribution fee for its labors, but no box office split.

Many foreign markets, including Japan and Latin America, will have to wait until June or July for the second prequel to George Lucas' franchise. Lucasfilm revealed the distribution plans Tuesday on its Web site, http://www.StarWars.com.

The first prequel, "Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace," bowed in North America on May 19, 1999, with $64.8 million. It grossed a total $923 million worldwide and $431.8 million domestically -- second only to the 1977 original's $461 million among the franchise's four installments to date.

Just noticed this:

<< Fox will get a distribution fee for its labors, but no box office split. >>

Wait, does this mean that Fox and the box offices aren't splitting the $$$ and that the box offices get to keep it? That doesn't make sense, 'cause Fox wouldn't be able to recover their investment into the movie.

I believe Lucasfilm rakes in all the $$$.
