Henry Jones Jr Has A Date For The Cinema

Last night I opened an e-mail sent out by Box Office Mojo to its members that read:

Paramount Pictures has set Thursday, May 22, 2008 for the release of the next Indiana Jones movie, which the studio is now officially referring to as the 'Fourth Installment of the Indiana Jones Adventures.' The picture maintains the Memorial Day weekend release strategy of the last two Indiana Jones movies, and it mirrors the last two 'Star Wars' movies and 'The Matrix Reloaded' with its Thursday launch.

Indy 4 Gets A Release Date

Also currently scheduled for Memorial Day weekend 2008 is Warner Bros..' 'Speed Racer' Two other event-style pictures have previously staked out May 2008 releases dates: Paramount's 'Iron Man (May 2) and Buena Vista's The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (May 16).

Even though Indy will have plenty of competitors surrounding him next year--it's a safe bet that his newest adventure will open big...
