Warner Bros. and Ben Affleck's "Argo," originally set for September 14, will now open October 12, giving it better positioning for potential Oscar buzz.
The move means that Warner Bros. will find a new home for another potential Oscar contender, according to Variety. "Gangster Squad," which stars Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Josh Brolin and Sean Penn, was initially slated for October 12. It will likely end up someplace slightly earlier in the fall. Ruben Fleischer ("Zombieland") directed the film.
