The release dates for movies are constantly changing this summer as studio heads are all determined to milk as much money as they can among the vast blockbuster competiton quite unlike any other year in cinema history. The latest change is
Michael Bay'sTransformers which will now be released on Tuesday July 3rd in the U.S. one day sooner than it's previous allocated July 4th opening. I doubt this change is going to do much to the numbers for the film but what it will do is harm
Live Free or Die Hard and certainly Pixar's
Ratatouille (man are things quiet for that movie!) as Transformers are cutting into their "time in the sun" as it were. Die Hard opens on June 27th one week before Transformers so it's got 6 days rather than 7 to make as much money as it can before those big ass robots come knocking (does anyone have a clue how much Transformers will make, because I can't predict it no more). Ratatouille has the strange ass release date of June 29th so that's even less time for the Pixar movie to make it's mark. I have a feeling one of those three ain't coming out of that two week period healthy... Ratatouille seems to be the one losing the battle at this point. source -
