Sony will release THE GREEN HORNET July 9, 2010, two weeks after its latest release date of June 25, to make room for Adam Sandler buddy comedy GROWN UPS, per VARIETY.
Sandler's film had been scheduled for March 12 and is also starring Chris Rock, Kevin James, David Spade and Rob Schneider. Sony's decision follows the success of recent comedy blockbuster THE HANGOVER, which has done very well in its late June-early July run.
GREEN HORNET stars Seth Rogen as a newspaperman who turns into a masked crime fighter. Stephen Chow also stars as sidekick Kato. Rogen wrote the script with Evan Goldberg.
It will go up against Universal's animated DESPICABLE ME and Fox's PREDATORS reboot.
