‘Life Of Pi’ Moves To Thanksgiving; Vince Vaughn And Owen Wilson’s ‘The Internship’ Lands Next Summer
As Paramount’sG.I. Joe: Retaliationheads into next springand Universal’sTedmoves up intoG.I. Joe’s old date, Fox is making a few edits of their own to the upcoming release calendar.Ang Lee’sLife of Pihas been shifted away from hyper-competitive late December to Thanksgiving weekend, while theWedding Crashersquasi-reunionThe Internshiphas landed on a summer 2013 date. Read more details after the jump.
SoLife of Pihas now been shifted again toNovember 21, where it should have a bit more room to breathe — especially since Alfonso Cuarón’sGravityand Carl Erik Rinsch’s47 Roninjust vacated that same slot to move into 2013. The new date puts Lee’s 3D adaptation ofYann Martel’s acclaimed novel against David O. Russell’sThe Silver Linings Playbook, DreamWorks Animation’sRise of the Guardians, and theRed Dawnremake.
Meanwhile, the studio has penciled inThe Internshipfor a wide opening onJune 28, 2013. The only other film currently scheduled for that exact date is the comic book adaptationR.I.P.D., though there are a few other heavyweights scheduled for earlier that month: the Seth Rogen comedyThe End of the World, Pixar’sMonsters University, the Superman rebootMan of Steel, and the horror adaptationWorld War Z.
Real SteelhelmerShawn Levyis signed on to directThe Internship, but the real draw is its reunion ofWedding Crashersco-starsOwen WilsonandVince Vaughn. Which means you should probably expect to hear it quoted endlessly for many, many months following its mid-summer release.
