Alex Rider Disappointed Me

So last week I wanted to go see the Stormbreaker movie. It's the first of the Alex Rider books being made into a movie (I've mentioned Alex Rider before). It was supposed to open July 21st but I couldn't find it anywhere. So then I looked around some more and found this:

July 21, 2006 (UK)
September 21, 2006 (AUS)
October 6, 2006 (USA) --from Wikipedia

I'm a little disappointed but I'll get over it. I still don't understand why it's opening here last (and why that isn't clear on the site). For those of you that don't remember, the movie stars Ewan McGrager, Rutger Hauer, Alica Silverstone and some new actor actually named Alex playing Alex Rider.
