As the already too crowded Summer 2005 film line-up finally seems to be settling into place, Disney has changed its mind and swapped around a few dates for its potential franchise movies.
Most notably comes the shift of "Herbie: Fully Loaded", the Lindsay Lohan lead attempt to revive "The Love Bug" franchise. It has been pushed back three weeks from June 3rd to June 24th, the same day Jim Carrey comedy "Fun With Dick and Jane" hits theatres. Wedged against Carrey and in-between two of the biggest films of the Summer on either side ("Batman Begins" on June 17th & "War of the Worlds" on June 29th), it's going to be a tough battle for the little VW that could.
The studio has also set a date for the superhero coming-of-age comedy "Sky High" set to open on the already crowded July 27th weekend against the more publicised likes of "The Dukes of Hazzard" adaptation, Cameron Crowe's "Elizabethtown" and Sony's super jet fighter actioneer "Stealth".
With "Herbie" gone, Sony has moved up its skating drama "Lords of Dogtown" by a week to a June 3rd bow, sticking the young male-skewing movie against competition that's more adult ("Cinderella Man") or young girl ("Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants") targeted.
Thanks to 'Move it'.
