In the irreverent spirit of fun that made the animated family comedy The LEGO Movie a worldwide phenomenon, the self-described leading man of that ensemble—LEGO Batman—stars in his own big-screen adventure. But there are big changes brewing in Gotham, and if he wants to save the city from The Joker’s hostile takeover, Batman may have to drop the lone vigilante thing, try to work with others and maybe, just maybe, learn to lighten up. Will Arnett reprises his starring role from The LEGO Movie as the voice of LEGO Batman, aka Bruce Wayne. Zach Galifianakis stars as The Joker; Michael as the orphan Dick Grayson; Rosario Dawson as Barbara Gordon; and Ralph Fiennes as Alfred. There was an error contacting ticketing server.

Front of House Takes Shape Our front of house is starting to give us an early preview of its final form.IT APPEARS that even a $5 million mistake wasn’t enough to make Village Roadshow reconsider its global release date for films. In 2014, Australian audiences got a cinematic release of The Lego Movie 54 days after it had screened in the US.Aussies decided they didn’t want to wait almost two months to see the film, so they turned to piracy — a common practice for most delayed content.With The Lego Movie on course to become the most pirated release of 2014, Village Roadshow chief executive Graham Burke acknowledged the costly mistake.“We estimate that (piracy of) The Lego Movie cost somewhere between $3.5 million and $5 million in sales,” he said, reportedThe Australian.“It was doubly painful because Lego was produced in Australia. Piracy not only impacts profits, but if unchecked will impede new business models and growth.”
Mr Burke went on to say that Village Roadshow would make an effort to distribute all major films at the same time as the US release, in an attempt to combat rampant online piracy.At least that’s what he said.@BrickingAround LEGO Batman will be released in Australia on 30th March, 2017.— Roadshow Films (@RoadshowFilms) December 5, 2016 This week Village Roadshow announced on Twitter that Australia would be getting Lego: Batman movie on March 30, 2017.This would be great if it wasn’t some 48 days later than the February 10 release date for the US.While a slightly shorter period, the logic behind repeating history and delaying the release is yet to be seen.Maybe Village Roadshow is just hoping really hard that Aussies will wait for the release instead of pirating the film.Unfortunately, the likelihood of this happening is slim to none..au has reached out to Village Roadshow for comment regarding the delay.Originally published as Lego Movie repeats $5m mistakeCan't find the show time you are looking for?

The Lego Batman Movie (Village Roadshow/Animal Logic) It's a case of deja vu for Australians, who had to wait 54 days after 2014's The Lego Movie was released in most other countries first. Many chose not to wait, downloading the movie illegally; a move estimated to cost studio Village Roadshow $3.5 to $5 million in lost sales. At the time, Village Roadshow co-chief executive and anti-piracy advocate Graham Burke described the delayed release as a mistake, assuring fans that a follow-up to the smash hit would have a release date in-line with the US. "We made one hell of a mistake with [The Lego Movie]," Burke told an audience at the Online Copyright Infringement Forum in 2014. "We held it for a holiday period, it was a disaster. Our policy going forward is that all of our movies will release day and date with the United States." But it appears Village Roadshow has since back-peddled its stance. The Australian release of The Lego Batman Movie is being held back and by a long margin.
It'll be released in 42 other countries before Australia, in spite of it being developed by local animation studio Animal Logic in Sydney's Fox Studios. The 46th and last country in which the movie will be released is New Zealand. Holding the release off for so long in Australia will only encourage piracy, says Sarah Agar, manager of consumer policy at CHOICE. "Australians have been telling us for a long time that piracy comes down to price and availability. The head of Village Roadshow publicly accepted that delaying the release of The Lego Movie in 2014 caused it to be widely pirated." Burke has been a longtime proponent of anti-piracy measures. Offering the movie in-line with the US would've been the simplest way to stop it from being pirated, added Agar. "Village Roadshow has demanded that the government introduce legislation to protect its old-school business model, including new excessive website blocking powers, but it's not taking the most simple action it can to reduce piracy."
