Any weekend after May 1 works; that's Avengers.

Nope. The time between Avengers and Ant Man is basically worthless. They won't take away their audience for Avengers by releasing Star Wars within a month, or even two months. It would also take away from Ant Man's potential audience, and they want to make sure they try to get as many people as they can for that movie.

If this goes through, Ant Man will be moved, possibly to Thanksgiving or Star Wars' original Christmas spot.

I think the audience for all 3 of these Disney releases is the same audience. I think most will see all 3 films regardless of their release scheduling.

jesus... I'm a skeptic, but that looked pretty badass. I'm getting blazed to the bejeezus before I see this sucker.

And I might end up losing that box office bet I made. If this is good... not great, even just good, it's gonna crush Christmas.

Just being Star Wars and Lucas not directing it'll demolish Xmas records.
