Definitely a change from episode 1 where it came out the following October. Ahhhh. The wait was painful (as was the final product)

I wonder why there was such a long delay. AotC was released in France around the same time as here if I'm remembering correctly.

Like I mentioned in the spoiler thread, I was in Paris visiting my sister the week JJ's Star Trek was released in France and Belgium two days before anywhere else in the world. So we got to see it a little early with very small and non-distracting French subtitles.
