Deadline Hollywood reports that Paramount Pictures have postponed the release of their comedy The Dictator. The Sacha Baron Cohen film was originally set to debut on May 11, head-to-head with the new Dark Shadows movie, but will now reach cinemas on May 16. The comedic elements of the Dark Shadows trailer contributed to the decision: "Paramount didn’t want to risk cannibalizing the comedy audience by bashing heads with a rival on the same opening weekend."
The Avengers opens on May 4 and is expected to be big at the box office in its second weekend against the Dark Shadows opening.
