Release Date Battles: ‘Sherlock 2’ Faces Off against Ethan Hunt and ‘Mission: Impossible 4’

Some new release dates have just been recently announced via a press release sent over from Focus Features and a report at Heat Vision.

Before I detail some of the battles that will ensue with these new dates (some of which are also old), let me just give you the rundown first.

WARNER BROS:

FOCUS FEATURES

These release dates means Sherlock Holmes 2 will be going up against Paramount’s Mission: Impossible IV directed by Brad Bird. Happy Feet 2 will open the same weekend as Summit’s The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.

Journey to the Center of the Earth 2 will offer counter-programming against Screen Gems’ Underworld 3D. Warner’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II will open two weeks after Transformers 3 and one week before The First Avenger: Captain America.

Green Lantern opens two weeks after Fox’s X-Men: First Class and one week before Rise of the Apes. The Hangover 2 arrives six days after the release of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.

That battle between Sherlock 2 and M:I 4 is an interesting one and I have to assume one of them will budge by at least a week. Don’tcha think?
