Roland Emmerich's '2012' pushed back

Sony Pictures has pushed back the release of Roland Emmerich's new disaster movie "2012" to Nov. 13, 2009.
The film was originally scheduled to open July 10, but some folks at Sony felt the flick would have a greater shot at making big bucks later this year.
Variety has this to say about the release date change:
"Sony prexy of worldwide distribution Rory Bruer said the studio has a very strong summer slate-- including tentpole 'Angels and Demons' (May 15) and Denzel Washington-John Travolta actioner 'The Taking of Pelham One Two Three' (June 12) -- and that it made sense to move '2012' to November."
Okay, fair enough. It will be interesting to see how many studios will respond to this release change and move around films of their own. July is usually a strong summer month, so I'm sure someone will take advantage of this very soon.
As for "2012," it focuses on a little group of people struggling with the large-scale cataclysm ensuing from the end of the world in 2012. John Cusack, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Thandie Newton, Oliver Platt, Danny Glover and Amanda Peet star.
