WRATH OF THE TITANS Moves to March 23, 2012, the Same Date as THE HUNGER GAMES

Warner Bros. has moved up the Clash of the Titans sequel, Wrath of the Titans, from March 30, 2012 to March 23, 2012.  That new date puts it into conflict with Lionsgate’s planned released of Gary Ross’ adaptation of the popular young-adult novel The Hunger Games.  Now the question is whether or not Lionsgate will blink and shift Hunger Games to a new date.

After Wrath of the Titans‘ date shift, the only film that currently occupies the March 30th slot is DreamWorks Animation’s family comedy The Croods.  It’s possible that Wrath of the Titans was shifted so it wouldn’t have to share 3D screens with the DWA flick. [Box Office Mojo]
