V: Warner Bros wins... The Butler [BUTLR] must choose a new title (according to MPAA) on Jul 02, 17:05
With only one month out, will TWC delay the film? Can they get away with a variation such as "White House Butler"? {nm} on Jul 02, 17:10
I dont think they will delay... Weinstein wants BUTLR to be another 'The Help' {nm} on Jul 02, 17:13
Then they should call The Help 2! {nm} on Jul 02, 17:16
No, you won't. {nm} on Jul 02, 17:17
Its almost like a copyright, Warners released a project with that title and nobody else can use it without their permission (per MPAA rules) {nm} on Jul 02, 17:17
It's a 1916 short. WB is holding a grudge against TWC. There's been multiple instances of films using the same title, like Heat. {nm} on Jul 02, 17:20
They either get permission (or in most cases) the owning studio doesnt care to pursue the matter (they don't care) {nm} on Jul 02, 17:27
Movie title stuff that I found within 5 minutes of searching.... on Jul 02, 17:58

Dude, Where's My Butler? {nm} on Jul 02, 18:04
That is an excellent title. Others: Service. Eight is Enough. See you next Tuesday, shabby Warner Brothers. Fire your lawyers, WB. {nm} on Jul 02, 18:27
Or: "You made Batman and Robin, Warner Brothers." {nm} on Jul 02, 18:29
