Produced by Silver Pictures, Virtual Studios and Anarchos Productions Inc., "V for Vendetta" was originally scheduled for release by Warner Bros. Pictures on 4 November 2005 (a day before the 400th Guy Fawkes Night), but was delayed; it instead opened in the United States on 17 March 2006 to mostly positive reviews from critics and was a box office success. However, Alan Moore, having been dissatisfied with the film adaptations of his other works, "From Hell" (2001) and "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen "(2003), declined to watch the film and asked to not be credited or paid royalties.
