Two More Summer Blockbusters Set to Steal Your Ten Bucks in 2013

As is accustomed, the summer movie season has come to a close, next year's releases are locked and now studios are slotting their big releases (Some will go before cameras in the next 6-ish months, if they haven't already) for the year after next.

THR says 20^th Century Fox and Disney/DreamWorks will split costs on Steven Spielberg's Robopocalypse and cherry-picking the always-lucrative July 4^th weekend in 2013 – Wednesday July 3^rd to be exact. The House of the Mouse gets their white and black-lined gloves on domestic distribution and Internet boogeyman Tom Rothman's joint will handle it overseas where it will make most of its money.

Love Spielberg, always game when he sticks his hands in the blockbuster pie. But I can't get past that stupid, stupid title. That, of course, means I haven't read the book, which could very well be brilliant. But reading is for bitches and us idiot movie-goers require explosions to feed our attention spans!

Elsewhere, M. Night Shyamalan has yet another chance to reclaim his Sixth Sense/Unbreakable/Signs glory days. No, I don't think that's going to happen either.

But his latest, the sci-fi adventure thriller One Thousand A.E. stars both Will and Jaden Smith. So it's going to make a lot of money because it stars Big Willie and li'l Willie is forming a strong career of his own. Sony will drop that one on June 7, 2013. It has an interesting, in a good way, (given the source is Shyamalan) story:

"Set 1,000 years into the future, a young boy navigates an abandoned and sometimes scary Earth to save himself and his estranged father after their ship crashes."

For you kids out there keeping score, that's two more release-dates Star Trek 2 could have grabbed for 2013 but didn't (Seriously, something has got to be up for Abrams & Co. to be dragging their feet this long) and two more films to potentially give The Man of Steel blue-balls.
