Damn the Gods"? Nah, more like “Damn the Suits” who opted to give Clash of the Titans](Clash of the Titans (2010) - Movie | Moviefone) a 3-D upgrade in the wake of Avatar’s popularity, unaware or unfazed by the fact that A) that film was actually shot for 3-D, not just given layers in post-production, and B) that film didn’t succeed massively because of star Sam Worthington (no offense, fella).
So Warner Bros. has bought themselves a week, moving Clash back from March 26th to April 2nd in order to capitalize on Easter weekend and give How to Train Your Dragon](How to Train Your Dragon (2010) - Movie | Moviefone) a whopping week before squeezing in on its 3-D screens. This move has left other studios to scramble to avoid competition (or fill the gap left behind), and so far as **(Domestic Release Schedule Changes - Box Office Mojo) is concerned, here’s how things have settled at the moment:
-
Fox’s family-friendly Diary of a Wimpy Kid](Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2010) - Movie | Moviefone) has moved to March 19th from 4/2
-
Universal’s sci-fi actioner, Repo Men](Repo Men (2010) - Movie | Moviefone), has moved to March 19th from 4/2
-
MGM’s raunchy romp, Hot Tub Time Machine](Hot Tub Time Machine (2010) - Movie | Moviefone), has moved to March 26th from 3/19
-
Disney’s Nicholas Sparks/Miley Cyrus vehicle, The Last Song](The Last Song (2010) - Movie | Moviefone), opens on March 31 instead of 4/2
-
Summit’s kiddie comedy, Furry Vengeance](Furry Vengeance (2010) - Movie | Moviefone), has moved to April 30th from 4/2
In an unrelated move, Screen Gems’ Takers](Takers (2010) - Movie | Moviefone) (which was supposed to open this month once upon a time) has moved to August 20th, instead of going right up against Universal’s Robin Hood in mid-May. They may be thieves, but they ain’t about to steal money from Russell Crowe, believe me you.**
