 Yes, believe it or not…you won’t have to wait much too much longer to see Paul Thomas Anderson’s new film ‘The Master’. Originally scheduled to hit theaters during the middle of October, Variety is reporting here that The Weinstein Company now has the film opening in limited release on September 14th, with a theater expansion planned the next weekend. This is obviously exciting news, but it does come with a little caveat in that we won’t be seeing Andrew Dominik’s film ‘Killing Them Softly’ until later than expected. Hit the jump for details on when you can see that movie, but it’s nothing too bad, I assure you. You can see the date below for ‘Killing Them Softly’, and be sure to mark your calendars for ‘The Master’…

 ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ is going to make a lot of money, that’s for sure. The question is just how much, and how long it’ll reign at the top of the box office charts. Universal isn’t sure how much money the Warner Brothers flick will take in, but it’s probably enough to potentially affect their franchise film ‘The Bourne Legacy’. The Playlist is reporting here that the studio is bumping its release date by a week to avoid Batman as best as possible. After the jump you can see how the schedule now shapes up, but I think this makes sense. Bourne should be a fun flick, but it’s no Batman…

 It’s looking like Fox is rather high on Ang Lee’s ‘Life of Pi’ adaptation, since they’ve just moved its release up from December to November, according to The Wrap here. Originally scheduled for a December 21st release against the likes of ‘The Hobbit’, ‘Les Miserables’, ‘One Shot’, ‘This Is 40′, and ‘Zero Dark Thirty’, it now is up against slightly lighter fare in ‘Red Dawn’, ‘Rise of the Guardians’, and ‘The Silver Linings Playbook’. After the jump you can see why they might be doing this, but I think it’s a good move from the studio. The less crowded a week is that this film opens, the better it’s likely to do, obviously.

 Alfonso Cuarón’s ‘Gravity’ is one of the most anticipated releases not involving a franchise right now, and many people (myself included) have written of it being a potential Oscar contender. Starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, it’s a high profile project and November 21st couldn’t come soon enough for us. Well, Deadline reported here (and I confirmed via Box Office Mojo) that the film has been pushed out of 2012 entirely to an as of now unspecified 2013 release date, so the wait has just gotten longer. This is all likely due to making sure the visual effects are up to snuff, but after the jump I’ll get into whether or not this is reason to panic. Essentially, mostly this is bad in the sense that we’d wanted to see Cuarón’s latest film sooner, rather than later…

 It’s hard to know what to make of changes in release dates sometimes, but it can often either mean a studio is particularly high or low on a project (no surprises there, honestly). Warner Brothers apparently is especially confident in Ben Affleck’s latest film ‘Argo’ being an awards player, as it’s taken the October date originally meant for ‘The Gangster Squad’, which now is temporarily without a home. The Playlist has the entire story that you can read after the jump, but this is a bit of scheduling well worth keeping an eye on, as these are two flicks that I have high Oscar hopes for. Give it a read below and see what you think…

 One of the first bumps of the year has gone down, and it’s the change of Marc Forster and Brad Pitt’s adaptation of ‘World War Z’ from a late 2012 release to the summer of 2013. This doesn’t seem to speak of its quality, though it does suggest that it perhaps was never meant for true awards consideration. Here’s the story, along with a few other release date notes, from The Hollywood Reporter:
Rearranging its release calendar in a major way, Paramount is moving Tom Cruise starrer One Shot from February 2013 to Dec. 21, 2012–the same frame that Cruise’s box office blockbuster Mission: Impossible–Ghost Protocol opened last year.
As a result, the studio is pushing back Brad Pitt zombie action pic World War Z to June 21, 2013. The film had occupied the date that One Shot now opens on.
