Many is the instance in which a Hollywood film is delayed, for any number of reasons. (Take a look at this month’s G.I. Joe: Retaliation, which was originally slated to open in June of 2012. It was delayed to be converted to 3D, of course.) However, fans of director Edgar Wright and stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost can now rejoice: Their apocalyptic comedy The World’s End will now be opening two months earlier.

REEL RUMBLES

Episode XXXIX

PAUL vs. FANBOYS

It is a period of intergalactically-themed humor. A group of friends, striking at George Lucas‘s fortified base, have launched an attempt to steal a copy of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace before its 1999 release date.

Meanwhile, two British nerds, fresh from attending their first ComicCon, attempt to help a drug-addled alien with the voice of Seth Rogen escape our planet.

We picked a pretty lousy two week stretch to open this column with. Last week’s biggest release did $1.7 million at the US box office and this week’s hit $8 million. By all accounts Bad Lieutenant and Pirate Radio (aka The Boat That Rocked) are good movies, they just aren’t that sexy to kick a column off with (well, aside from stars Eva Mendes and January Jones).

So, here are this week’s new DVD, Blu-ray, and Netflix Instant Watch titles. Each film will include their Flickchart global statistics (when available), as well as three direct links to rank the title against similar movies (one good, one average and one bad) to help nail down where the movie belongs on your chart.
