Here's a look at the new schedule of release dates for some upcoming movies:

• The Big Wedding, starring Robert De Niro, Diane Keaton and Katherine Heigl, will take Alex Cross's previous spot, opening October 26th.

Hit the jump for more on each movie, including why Universal is delaying the opening of their fourth Bourne movie, The Bourne Legacy.

First up from Deadline comes the news that Universal has pushed back the opening date on The Bourne Legacy by a week to soften the box office blow due to The Dark Knight Rises and to avoid competing with Sony's Total Recall, which opens August 3rd.  Deadline also reports that the delay has nothing to do with the film's recent reshoots that just wrapped about a week ago.  It's worth noting that reshoots on the previous films were commonplace and even a bit chaotic at times; they did fine, pulling in nearly a billion dollars at the box office.  Second unit director and stunt coordinator Dan Bradley downplays this as the reason for the delay, saying the reshoots were:

“two days of pickups. There was one shot that we needed to get. It was a beat. It was nothing.”

Although Renner

is being introduced as a new character in the canon that Matt Damon established in the previous three films, the fourth installment is reportedly tracking well.  Positive buzz or not, it makes financial sense to get out from under the shadow of the bat.  Here's Universal's official response:

“Just as The Avengers demonstrated marketplace sustainability that well outpaced traditional patterns earlier this summer, the industry expects a similar trajectory for The Dark Knight Rises. Moving one week further from its release will give The Bourne Legacy an even greater opportunity to maximize its opening box office potential. Moving to August 10 will also allow us to extend valuable promotion for the film across all NBCUniversal platforms during the Olympics, which will dominate television and digital audiences beginning July 27. We are excited about this new chapter in our Bourne franchise and confident that August 10 is the right date for our film and for our industry as a whole.”

You can watch the trailer for The Bourne Legacy here.  Here's the synopsis:

The narrative architect behind the Bourne film series, Tony Gilroy, takes the helm in the next chapter of the hugely popular espionage franchise that has earned almost $1 billion at the global box office: The Bourne Legacy.  The writer/director expands the Bourne universe created by Robert Ludlum with an original story that introduces us to a new hero (Jeremy Renner) whose life-or-death stakes have been triggered by the events of the first three films.

For The Bourne Legacy, Renner joins fellow series newcomers Rachel Weisz, Edward Norton, Stacy Keach and Oscar Isaac, while franchise veterans Albert Finney, Joan Allen, David Strathairn and Scott Glenn reprise their roles.
