The Fighter

David O. Russell’s The Fighter finally has an official release date: December 10th 2010, just in time for award season. I’m sure the film will premiere at one of the September film festivals (Telluride, Toront, Venice).

We also have some minor release date changes for DreamWorks Animation’s sequel Kung Fu Panda: The Kaboom of Doom Paramount will hit theaters one day earlier, Thursday May 26th 2011 instead of Friday, May 27th.

Also, Paramount Pictures has moved the release date of the computer animated film Rango from March 18th 2011 to March 4th 2011.

The film tells the story of Dicky Eklund (Christian Bale), a real life boxer-turned-trainer who rebounded after a run of drugs and crime.
