The company has rescheduled the debut of two of its major 2013 releases.
The Johnny Depp-starring Lone Ranger will now arrive in theatres on July 3, 2013 instead of May 31, 2013.
The new release date puts it up against Universal Pictures' Despicable Me 2 and 20th Century Fox's newly announced Independence Day 3D.
Chris Hemsworth's Thor 2 has been shifted from a November 15 release to November 8 and will open opposite the One Direction Concert Movie 3D.
The new date leaves a two-week window between the Marvel Studios Thor sequel and the release of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, which is expected to recreate the hype of the first movie.
A string of release dates have been announced this week, including those for the X-Men: First Class sequel, Stephen Spielberg's Robopocalypse and a Walking with Dinosaurs movie.
