First 'Hercules' title had been set for Feb. 7

‘Hercules’ Battle Starting Jan. 10 as Lionsgate Moves Epic Forward | Variety

Lionsgate is moving “Hercules: The Legend Begins” forward a month to Jan. 10, where the actioner will be the only new wide release.  The studio’s dating move came three days after it acquired U.S. rights to the Millennium Films movie. It had dated the Kellan Lutz action-adventure for Feb. 7, where it would have faced the openings of Warner’s “Lego” and Sony’s “Monuments Men.”  “Hercules: The Legend Begins” will now open six months before Paramount opens “Hercules,” starring Dwayne Johnson.  The Jan. 10 date will also see expansion of a trio of titles in limited release — Universal’s “Lone Survivor,” Warner Bros.’ Spike Jonze film “Her” and TWC’s “One Chance.”
