Rise of the Planet of the Apes and X-Men: First Class Sequels Get Release Dates; Thor 2 Moves Back a Week
1 June 2012 1:39 PM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
Twentieth Century Fox likely surprised itself last summer by creating not one but two prequel franchises. Considering the popularity of the X-Men franchise, the studio probably expected that X-Men: First Class would perform well enough to illicit a sequel (the studio backed a pretty extensive marketing campaign in hopes). However, the studio probably didn't expect Planet of the Apes prequel Rise of the Planet of the Apes to earn $481 million worldwide. Unsurprisingly, Fox CEO Tom Rothman announced sequels last November and the studio is pressing forward, scheduling both sequels for summer 2014.
There's still little known about the Rise sequel, other than it will continue seeing humanity fall as the apes, well, rise. Director Rupert Wyatt, who is returning, said last December that the sequel will show "why humanity is going to be vulnerable enough for this ever growing army of intelligent apes and their offspring to be able to take us on. »

Fox Sets Apes 2, ID4 3D, X-Men 2 Dates

Disney isn't the only one playing musical chairs with their slate this week as Fox have made some big announcements which essentially set up their Summer 2014 slate according to Box-Office Mojo.
It's a line-up that will resemble last year's in fact, kicking off with the newly titled "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes". The sequel to 'Rise', which grossed a whopping $483 million worldwide, will bow on Memorial Day Weekend - May 23rd 2014.
Then on July 18th 2014 comes the untitled "X-Men: First Class" sequel with director Matthew Vaughn and all of the original cast back onboard.
Long before that though are the films in 2013 and just announced yesterday is a 3D re-release of Roland Emmerich's "Independence Day" for July 3rd 2013.
A month later the company will debut the sequel "Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters" on August 16th, a not that surprising delay of five months for the Greek myth-themed fantasy. »

Rise of the Planet of the Apes Sequel Gets Another Writer and an Official Title
1 June 2012 9:38 AM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
We've known since late last year that a sequel to last summer's surprise hit Rise of the Planet of the Apes is already in the works with Rupert Wyatt once again in the director's chair and Andy Serkis having signed on to reprise his role as Caesar. What we didn't know is when the movie would hit theatres and what it would be called. This week Fox has officially announced a release date and a title for the film, following up on the recent news of an additional writer being hired to pen the script. Unfortunately, if you were hoping to see the Apes sequel in theatres sometime next year, you're going to be a bit disappointed; the new movie doesn't hit theatres until 2014. According to a press release, the new Apes movie is aiming for a Memorial Day 2014 release, which probably means Friday May 23rd. The official title is »

Robopocalypse, Independence Day 3D, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and X-Men sequel get Release Dates
1 June 2012 8:00 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Fox has released a ton of release dates for many of their upcoming high profile films.
First of all let's address the fact that Independence Day is getting a 3D makeover. 20th Century Fox saw how well Titanic did in when it was released in 3D and decided that Independence Day would be a good choice to bring back to the big screen in the third dimension. They went ahead and gave it a release date of July 3rd, 2013. This actually could be a fun movie to see in 3D.
The studio also set release dates for several other films for the summer of 2014.
Steven Spielberg's Robopocalyse will be released on April 25th, 2014.
The Rise of the Planet of the Apes sequel has been given the title Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and will be released May 23rd, 2014.
Matthew Vaughn's sequel to X-Men: First Class will be released July 18th, »

Release dates for X-Men and Planet of the Apes sequels, Independence Day 3D; Thor 2 and Lone Ranger moved
1 June 2012 7:01 AM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
Release dates have been announced for the next X-Men and Planet of the Apes films.
Twentieth Century Fox revealed that the as-yet-untitled sequel to X-Men: First Class will arrive on July 18, 2014.
Returning director Matthew Vaughn begins filming in January 2013, giving almost 18 months for production and post-production. That's the longest such period for any film in the franchise.
It will placate those fans who have in the past had concerns about the mutant movies seeming 'rushed.' First Class was filming at the same time as The Amazing Spider-Man, despite the latter having a release date a full year later than that of X-Men (giving extra time for post-production such as special effects, editing, and any reshoots). Filmmakers admitted the X-Men schedule had been 'strenuous'.
Fox's other prequel/reboot Planet of the Apes is getting a follow-up too. To be called Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, it arrives on screens on May 23, 2014.

We've gone beneath, escaped, conquested, battled and returned on several occasions to the 'Planet of the Apes' and now the previously announced sequel to 2011's sci-fi action prequel 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' has received its official title.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes To Open May 23rd, 2014
1 June 2012 1:03 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
20th Century Fox has announced that the much anticipated “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” sequel will be titled “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” and it will hit cinemas on Memorial Day May 23rd, 2014.
So we’ve basically got exactly two years to wait until we see the aftermath of the virus spreading and the war with the apes that was hinted at during the climax of last year’s film. Speaking of which I wanted the sequel title to be ‘War For The Planet of the Apes” but I have no problem with what Fox have come up with.
“Rise of the Planet of the Apes” grossed almost $500 million worldwide on a budget of just under $100 million last summer. It was a surprise critical and commercial success, rejuvenating life in a dead franchise and opening up the universe for what several more movies if they can keep the intrigue level strong. »

Apes Sequel Set For 2014
31 May 2012 5:35 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Some days are clearly designated as “dump a load of release dates and announcements all in one big press release" day. Such as today, with 20th Century Fox announcing that the Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes sequel, currently titled Dawn* Of The Planet Of The Apes, will howl its way into Us cinemas on May 23, 2014.Not much is known about the Apes sequel, beyond the fact that Rupert Wyatt will be back in the director’s chair, Andy Serkis will once again play Caesar and the plot will be set a little further down the line towards the simian domination of Earth.Shortly after that, we’re scheduled to meet up with Magneto and co once more for the fast-developing X-Men: First Class sequel. That one doesn’t have a title currently, presumably because the studio and director Matthew Vaughn have rejected all of the silly ideas we’ve broached so far. »

Headed up by director Gore Verbinski, Disney’s The Lone Ranger will be in theaters July 3, 2013. The Lone Ranger and his sidekick Tonto (Armie Hammer/Johnny Depp) will go head-to-head with Gru and the Minions in the sequel to Universal’s Despicable Me during the July 4th weekend.

Disney distributes domestically. (ID43D now occupies its former release date.)

Rise of the Planet of the Apes Sequel Gets a Title
31 May 2012 3:24 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Rise of the Planet of the Apes was one of last year's biggest shockers. Not because of its content, but because it was actually a good movie. With sequel talk going into high gear, Fox has announced the next film's official title.
Twentieth Century Fox’s Dawn of the Planet of the Apes will infect theaters on May 23, 2014. Director Rupert Wyatt returns as does star Andy Serkis as the ape “Caesar”.
Amanda Silver, Rick Jaffa, Scott Burns penned the screenplay that “continues the story set forth in last year’s critical and commercial hit movie featuring simians that are given human intelligence and subsequently break out of their facility. At the same time, a virus breaks out that causes the collapse of human society. The new project is taking the story to the next level, with the apes on the path to emerge as society’s new rulers.”
Look for more as it comes. »
