So were they holding on to Mononoke Hime to capitalize on the Pokemon 
release?  And it turned out badly?  It seems as if they had Mononoke Hime on 
hold forever, but whether this was due to actual delays or marketing 
strategy, I'm not sure.  It seems that the Jackie Chan films are being 
released over a period of time so as to not flood the market all at once.
