Walt Disney Pictures made some interesting moves today. The studio pushed back Frankenweenie, produced by Tim Burton, from March 9, 2012 to October 5, 2012. There is no other film scheduled for the new date so far.
Disney has also moved up Andrew Stanton’s John Carter of Mars from June 8, 2012 to that March 9 date. The other movie scheduled for March 9? Ridley Scott’s Prometheus.
We’ll have to wait and see whether such big projects would go up against each other. June 8, 2012 is now vacant as well, and we expect another big movie to jump to that spot soon.
