It seems that an upcoming Fox action film will be hitting theaters a few days early. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Fox has moved its summer blockbuster Knight and Day up two days from a June 25 release to a Wednesday, June 23 release.

"It gives us a little bit of a jump on the weekend and the opportunity to get word-of-mouth going," Fox domestic distribution president Bruce Snyder told the site. "We want to let people know how wonderful this picture is."

In related news, The Hollywood Reporter is also reporting that CBS Films has announced a March 18, 2011 release date for Beastly. We reported a few weeks ago that the studio was moving the Vanessa Hudgens film out of its scheduled July 30 release date, to avoid conflict with the Zac Efron film Charlie St. Cloud.

Knight and Day was released June 23rd, 2010 and stars Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz, Peter Sarsgaard, Maggie Grace, Paul Dano, Marc Blucas, Viola Davis, Jordi MollĂ . The film is directed by James Mangold.

Beastly was released March 4th, 2011 and stars Alex Pettyfer, Justin Bradley, Mary-Kate Olsen, Dakota Johnson, Erik Knudsen, Vanessa Hudgens, Karl Graboshas, Peter Krause. The film is directed by Daniel Barnz.

    It's not the only film with a wide release that week. Isn't Grown Ups coming out on the 25th?
