Box Office Mojo has switched the release date for “The Green Hornet” from July 9, 2010 to Dec. 17 2010. This change comes after a series of setbacks the movie has dealt with.
At first there was no explanation to why the pulp hero movie starring Seth Rogen was moved. HitFix then got in contact with Rogen who told them this:
“We’re both relieved and psyched about the change. It gives more time for post, which would have been immensely rushed if we were to come out in the summer. It also affords us more time to promote the film, (now we can go to Comic-Con with more than a car!) and ultimately is a great vote of confidence from the studio. We got the same date that movies like ‘I Am Legend’ and ‘Avatar’ are getting, so we’re thrilled to be there.”
So there you have it. The change would be the difference between a bad movie and a good movie.
