50 SHADES Pushed Back; Good News For GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY?

Charlie Hunnam may have been Marvel's covert agent as 50 SHADES OF GREY has been delayed by a month. Will this mean a delayed release date as well?

As many people have pointed out, the inevitable box office battle was brewing between GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY and 50 SHADES OF GREY. Obviously as readers of this site, you're all like me and beyond stoked to see Dakota Johnson and Jaime Dornan make all sorts of forbidden love.

As The Hollywood Reporter is saying, production of the ~~Twilight Fan Fic~~ film has been delayed a month to December 2nd. A full month after it's scheduled start date.

The director and company have all been frantically trying to keep on track for the August 1st, 2014 release date but it's looking like they may be having to throw that weekend to Marvel and James Gunn's GUARDIANS. A move they will try to avoid, but is it inevitable at this point?

Having the weekend to itself could benefit GUARDIANS from a box office standpoint. With 50 SHADES out of their release date, it could mean that GUARDIANS could take more money home at the box office if this is the case.

Do you think 50 SHADES OF GREY will get delayed? Will you see the movie? Comment in the usual spot below

When a Marvel film comes out, all the bitches beep back

50 shades of gray...competition?

HAHAH, I'm surprised this movie is even being made.

@MrCBM it could be if you look at the sales of the book and at the box office for previous Twilight movies.

@FleXx 50 Shades started out as Twilight Fan Fic before it got re-written into it's current state.

Fifty shades didn't back out because of Marvel, their production is being delayed because of casting. They would have been number 1 in the box office against gotg

No way would a R rated movie have a higher weekend debut than a marvel movie. GOTG will have at least a $4o-50M weekend opening.

Even though 50 Shades was never a worthy opponent, it's good to know GOTG will have less competition... I guess. Marvel will still make a sequel anyway...
