Quite the wait

I see they've pushed back the release date for Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby from December 25th to next summer. According to THR's interview with Warner Bros., the official reason is because:

"[The film] truly brings Fitzgerald's American classic to life in a completely immersive, visually stunning and exiting way. We think moviegoers of all ages are going to embrace it, and it makes sense to ensure this unique film reaches the largest audience possible."

Uh. Yeah. That's it. After all, Avatar and Titanic came out in December and who went and saw those*?

*Actually, I haven't seen either one. But the point is: it sounds like Mr. Luhrmann has some serious work to do.
