Major Box Office Adjustments, ‘Elm Street,’ Others on the Move!
Warner Bros. Pictures made a ton of adjustments with their upcoming genre slate, staring with their reboot of A Nightmare on Elm Street, which arrives in theaters April 30, 2010, two weeks later than originally slated. Their Megan Fox starring Western Jonah Hex will now arrive in cinemas June 18, 2010, a whopping two months earlier than it’s original August date (this shows confidence in the film!). Lastly, their Dark Castle thriller The Factory has been bumped two months to a January 28, 2011 release, which is a solid date for a genre flick. Good moves altogether. As usual, click any title above for more info on each film.
