Warner Bros. is already planning for the holidays.
By Brandon Wolfe
Warner Bros. has shuffled its schedule today, announcing that it is moving its (again, brutally pointless) remake of Point Break from summer to the very un-surfer-friendly date of Christmas Day. This move is not surprising, as the remake's original July 31 turf was recently encroached upon by the far more heavily anticipated Mission: Impossible 5. Still, scuttling the film to Christmas feels like a peculiar move for such a summery property. Point Break will now square off against the latest Alvin and the Chipmunks squeakquel, the Will Smith drama Concussion and Paramount's Monster Trucks.
WB has also set a Thanksgiving release date for Creed, the spin-off of the undying Rocky franchise, starring Michael B. Jordan and Sylvester Stallone. It will spar with Pixar's The Good Dinosaur, Ridley Scott's The Martian and an untitled Sony Christmas comedy starring Seth Rogen and Joseph Gordon-Levitt on November 25.
