19. because of our Christian culture of titillating superstition generally.
Have you known of any missed oppurtunity for superstitious people to assign importance to upcoming dates? (as opposed to history)
If the DU Meeting Room still existed, I'm sure it would be humming with at least a half dozen threads on the topic.

I suppose the movie advertising has some influence on the notability of the issue, but I really think it would be an issue in some circles regardless.
Compare The Omen with Independence Day for example.
