The release date was changed erronously on 20 september, by someone believing the info in the article to be outdated. It is not. The date for the premiere has (as far as I know) not been announced, other than "late november". The official website is a better source than IMDB and the international release dates need to be mentioned, as was done with the previous films, not just the US date.[[Special:Contributions/82.139.86.180|82.139.86.180]] ([[User talk:82.139.86.180|talk]]) 17:18, 2 October 2013 (UTC) |

Cast section
The listed actors need explicit verification that will appear in this film, not just the series.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 14:38, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
Release Date
The article currently says the film will be released on 13 december, with a note about it being released a day earlier in Germany. It actually will be released on 12 december in many countries, with a few even getting it on the 11th. Should the US release (on the 13th) be the date mentioned, or the release date for the most countries (12th), or the earliest release date (11th)? As I see it, this film will be released on the 11th, with many countries (like Germany) getting it a day later and some (like the US) getting it two or more days later. http://www.thehobbit.com/releasedates/index.html 82.139.86.180 (talk) 10:12, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
- I think we should only mention the US release date and the premiere release date (expected to be in London in November). I previously removed the info on the German relaese date here, but it was added again by CherryX here.--2nyte (talk) 12:41, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
I'm not sure I agree the US date should be the one release date mentioned. This isn't really an American film (as in: the actual people making the film aren't American, for the most part, all of the work done on the film is done outside the US and the film's fanbase is not mainly American. I know that the company is American).
Perhaps we could, instead of mentioning any one date as the release date (this film does not have one release date, it has several), we could explain that the film will have a staggered release worldwide, starting on 11 december in a few places and most countries getting it on the 12th or 13th.82.139.86.180 (talk) 14:40, 5 September 2013 (UTC)- Correct, I believe the precedent is to show the different release dates; take a look at the infobox at The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring for example.
