I figured they would let this one sit out for a bit considering the Oscar buzz for it. Feb 1 is WAY too soon, they could push it back until April because a lot of hype is that Jamie Foxx will win the Oscar, if that is the case, the movie could experience an American Beauty-style box office renaissance. But now that will just be translated to DVD sales.
