Twentieth-Century Fox has pushed the release date of their new Sandra Bullock comedy All About Steve from March 6th to an unspecified date in the fall, getting it out of the way of both Watchmen and recent hit romantic comedies.
The move was rather shrewd because Fox, as part of their settlement with Warner Bros. from the Watchmen lawsuit, gets a percentage of Watchmen’s gross, giving them no reason to try to open their own movie that weekend. Plus, with Confessions of a Shopaholic and He’s Just Not That Into You both doing well, the studio had a hunch that its potential female audience would be out of the moviegoing mood by the time March 6th rolled around.
In other release date news, Paramount basically gave up on its Wayans Brothers spoof movie Dance Flick by moving it to May 22nd — opposite titans Terminator Salvation and Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian.
