Kevin Macdonald's Romans battle epic The Eagle of the Ninth has been pushed back five months from September 24th to February 25th 2011 reports UGO
Meaning the Channing Tatum-led film will have essentially two weekends to itself and is probably aiming to replicate the success of "Shutter Island" which did solid business in late February this year. It also puts plenty of breathing room between it and Neil Marshall’s quite similar "Centurion" coming in late August
Meanwhile CBS Films has pushed back "Beastly", its tween retelling of the he "Beauty and the Beast" story, from July 30th to an undisclosed date. The reasoning for the delay is just plain weird
In a Facebook update, the studio suggests the delay is due to Zac Efron's fantasy-drama Charlie St. Cloud recently moving up to that date. Efron and "Beastly" leading lady Vanessa Hudgens' were the stars of the High School Musical film series a fan base which will make up a substantial portion of both film's audiences.
Posting - "We've been hearing from fans, so we know that having both Zac and Vanessa's movies opening on the same day could be a real dilemma for people, so we are moving Beastly."
It's a shame they moved Beastly...would have been interesting to see which of pair would have come out om top going head to head...Cloud looks like the better pic just the same
