Switching up its 2010 comedy lineup, Sony has decided to move Adam Sandler
buddy comedy "Grown Ups" out of March and into the heart of summer. "Grown
Ups" will open June 25, the date originally staked out for the studio's Seth Rogen
action-comedy "The Green Hornet," which now bows July 9.
The Sandler comedy -- also starring Chris Rock, Kevin James, David Spade and
Rob Schneider -- had been set for March 12.
Filmed in Massachusetts, the flick's storyline is ready-made for release near the
July 4th holiday. "Grown Ups" revolves around five friends who reunite one
Summer after decades apart. Comedy reteams Sandler and director Dennis
Dugan, Sandler penned the script.
"Green Hornet" follows a newspaperman who turns into a masked crime-fighter
at night. Stephen Chow also stars. Rogen penned the script with Evan Goldberg.
The June-July stretch next year is already jam-packed, although "Grown Ups" has
the luxury of being the only film currently set to open June 25.
Formidable competition should come with the opening five days later on June 30
of Summit's "Twilight: The Eclipse." Paramount's "The Last Airbender," from M.
Night Shyamalan, follows on July 2.
Opening the same weekend as "Green Hornet" is Universal's toon "Despicable
Me" and Fox's "Predators," directed by Robert Rodriguez.
