2012 Release Date Moved Back

Sony is pushing back the release of Roland Emmerich's tentpole actioner "2012" from July 10 to Nov. 13, the same date the studio used to launch the last two James Bond pics.
New date comes on the eve of the lucrative but crowded Thanksgiving holiday.

Sony prexy of worldwide distribution Rory Bruer said the studio has a very strong summer slate-- including tentpole "Angels and Demons" (May 15) and Denzel Washington-John Travolta actioner "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three" (June 12) -- and that it made sense to move "2012" to November.

Move pits "2012" against Warner Bros.' Robert Downey Jr. topliner "Sherlock Holmes," which likewise opens Nov. 13, along with 20th Century Fox's family film "The Tooth Fairy."
