Last month, Columbia Pictures announced that MEN IN BLACK III would arrive in theaters on May 25, 2012. Because of the power of Will Smith and a proven franchise, Universal has decided to move Peter Berg's boardgame adaptation BATTLESHIP from that date to May 18, 2012, reports ComingSoon.net. Now all MIIIB has to compete with is DreamWorks Animation's MADAGASCAR 3.

Summer of 2012 also includes THE AVENGERS, Disney-Pixar's BRAVE, STAR TREK 2, the SPIDER-MAN reboot, ICE AGE: CONTINENTAL DRIFT and BATMAN 3/DARK KNIGHT 2.
