Quantum of Solace Release Date Pushed Back

The effects of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince being shelved until July 2009 are still being felt.

While Twilight jumped on the chance to move up a month and take over Potter's release date of November 21, the next James Bond movie has gone in the opposite direction.

Originally scheduled to open on November 7 - in order to give 007 and company plenty of time to haul in the box office before Potter fever takes over - Quantum of Solace will now be released a week later.

"We believe November 14 is a great date that allows us to play straight through Thanksgiving and right into Christmas," Sony executive Jeff Blake said of the date, a week before Thanksgiving, that Bond films typically open on. "We believe this decision will give the public a wider opportunity to see the film over the holiday."
