"The Hobbit: There and Back Again" release pushed back

Warner Brothers has announced that the release date of the third and final installment in Peter Jackson's "Hobbit" trilogy has been pushed back from July 18, 2014 to December 17, 2014. The move is not a big shock considering all of Jackson's previous Tolkien adaptations have releases in mid December. The real surprise (for me anyway) was that they considered a July release at all.

The first  movie in the trilogy has recovered from a somewhat sluggish start and is closing in a billion dollars at the worldwide box office. Sure that includes ticket premiums but a billion dollars is still a billion dollars. The second film "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" is set for release this December.
