German’s try to screw ‘Herbie’

herbie.jpg It looks like the Mouse fold will have to learn the hard way that the German’s don’t like to be rushed while enjoying their beloved Lindsay Lohan movies at the local multiplex.

German exhibitors could stall Disney’s worldwide rollout of “Herbie Fully Loaded” if two of the territory’s leading multiplex operators carry through with threats made Monday to bump the Beetle-based family comedy off local screens.

At issue are BVI’s plans to speed up “Herbie’s” DVD release in Germany. Instead of the usual six-month window, BVI wants to get the family-friendly film on German store shelves in December to cash in on the Christmas market.

Sounds like we might have to ship more David Hasselhoff CDs over there to quell any potentially massive riots dead in their tracks.
