Universal is banking on moviegoers getting lost in a magical land a little earlier than planned. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Universal has moved Land of the Lost to the June 5 slot from its oringally-planned July 17 slot.

This move is seen to be another reactionary move since Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince shifted its release date from November 21 of this year to July 17, 2009.

The only other film that was slotted for the June 5 release was Fast and Furious, another Universal property, but they have also shifted gears on that release as well. The fourth Furious film will now bow a week later on June 12.

Land of the Lost was released June 5th, 2009 and stars Will Ferrell, Anna Friel, Danny McBride, Jorma Taccone, John Boylan, Matt Lauer, Bobb'e J. Thompson, Sierra McCormick. The film is directed by Brad Silberling.

Fast & Furious was released April 3rd, 2009 and stars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez, John Ortiz, Laz Alonso, Gal Gadot, Jack Conley. The film is directed by Justin Lin.
