So much for 2012 being a summer blockbuster.

Sony's Columbia Pictures is delaying the release of Roland Emmerich's thriller, moving it from from July 10 to November 13, two weekends before the lucrative Thanksgiving session.

"We've had such success with the James Bond films in November that we wanted a big tentpole film in that slot this year," Sony distribution president Rory Bruer said Tuesday. "We've got so many films in the summer that this is the perfect answer to that."
