V: Warner Bros wins... The Butler [BUTLR] must choose a new title (according to MPAA) RazorHawk 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} Antibody Jul 02, 17:10

I dont think they will delay... Weinstein wants BUTLR to be another 'The Help' {nm} RazorHawk Jul 02, 17:13

Then they should call The Help 2! {nm} Oleg Max Jul 02, 17:16

No, you won't. {nm} Disney-DreamWorks 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} RazorHawk 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} Antibody 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} RazorHawk Jul 02, 17:27

Movie title stuff that I found within 5 minutes of searching.... RazorHawk Jul 02, 17:58

The First Butler perhaps? Or just First Butler. {nm} KalElFan Jul 02, 17:18

The West Wing Butler? 8 Presidents? The Executive Butler? The President's Butler? {nm} RazorHawk Jul 02, 17:20

Lee Daniel's The Butler Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire {nm} Antibody Jul 02, 17:25

Here is a list of same title - different movie RazorHawk Jul 02, 17:32

I Can't Believe It's Not Butler? {nm} islander Jul 02, 17:56

Dude, Where's My Butler? {nm} RazorHawk 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} second gary Jul 02, 18:27

Stick a fork in it {nm} thatpj Jul 02, 18:11

..... It's Done. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Jul 02, 18:49

DL: TWC has already hired noted attorney David Boies to explore a potential lawsuit RazorHawk Jul 02, 18:39

James Rocci suggests, and I agree "UNINTENTIONALLY HILARIOUS GREASY HUNK OF OSCAR BAIT MADE FOR THE WORST KIND OF PEOPLE" {nm} Moviesnob Jul 02, 20:12

How about "They call me Mr. Rhett !" {nm} mrbinns Jul 02, 22:30
