Thomas Kinkade's Christmas Cottage, inspired by the early life and art of renowned painter Thomas Kinkade, is the story of how a small community and an aging mentor come to the aid of a family to save the only home they have ever known; and along the way teach a young man the meaning of love, friendship, and what it means to be an artist.  

News Release from Thomas Kinkade Company 

September 27, 2007
 
We have just been notified by Lionsgate Studios that the schedule for completing Thomas Kinkade’s Home for Christmas has been experiencing unexpected delays over the last several weeks due to a number of factors including music rights clearances and final editing.  These delays, in turn, had the effect of seriously impacting the time available for the studio to develop and deploy quality promotion and marketing to support the film and gain strong word of mouth and awareness.  Consequently, after much discussion and debate internally, Lionsgate has decided that in order to ensure maximum success for the movie, the best decision is to re-schedule its release date. 

Re-scheduling a movie is commonplace in Hollywood, and if this were a typical movie the result would likely be a move of two to three months.  However, because it is very much a Christmas Movie, Thomas Kinkade’s Home for Christmas will be rescheduled for the 2008 holiday season.

Although we are disappointed that we will not be able to share what is a truly wonderful film this Christmas, we believe, given the facts of the situation, that the decision is indeed the best one for the ultimate success of both this movie and future Thomas Kinkade Media projects.
