Guillermo Del Toro’s ‘Pacific Rim’ Moved Up Two Months, ‘My Week With Marilyn’ Back Three Weeks, ‘Piranha 3DD’ To 2012

As for Pacific Rim, it was originally scheduled for release July 12, 2013 and was the only film scheduled for that date. However, in the past few weeks, Steven Spielberg’s Robopocalypse was inserted the week before as well as Tom Cruise’s Oblivion a few weeks later. Both are similar sci-fi action and it’s safe to say Warner Bros. was looking for another spot for the film. Deadline reports that new spot is May 13, 2013. Frankly, that move to is slightly curious though. It exhibits a lot of confidence but it places Del Toro squarely in the sites of the surefire hit Iron Man 3. It’s also a few short weeks before The Lone Ranger and sixth Fast and the Furious. Even a year and a half out, the summer of 2013 is already heating up.
Do you think May is a better date for Pacific Rim? Are you disappointed that Piranha 3DD has been moved to next year?
