HOBBIT 3 Release Date Pushed Back Six Months

Fans will have to wait a bit longer for the big finale of Peter Jackson’ three-part adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien’s classic fantasy novel The Hobbit. It has been announced that The Hobbit: There And Back Again has been pushed from its original release date of July 18, 2014 to December 17, 2014. Not only does that line the film up with the other Hobbit and Lord Of The Rings films customary December release date, it also moves the film away from Twentieth Century Fox’s X-Men: Days Of Future Past which is also scheduled for that July weekend. The trilogy’s middle installment, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, is due out this December 13.
