Warner Brothers has announced a release date for "Sherlock Holmes 2" and has confirmed that DC Comics superhero favorite "The Flash" is close to getting the green light. The news came during a slide show presentation by Warners chairman and CEO Barry Meyer who was in New York yesterday for Time Warner's investor day, according to The Hollyood Reporter.
The sequel to Warners' hit "Sherlock Holmes" re-imagining will hit theaters on December 16, 2011, capping of a year during which the studio expects to unveil some two dozen features. Other major releases are expected to include "Red Riding Hood" on April 22, 2011, "The Hangover 2" on May 26th that year, the 3D superhero film "Green Lantern" on June 17th, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II" (also 3D) on July 15th, the New Line/Walden Media "Journey to the Center of the Earth 2" (also 3D) on September 23rd, "Happy Feet 2" (also 3D, you may be noticing a trend) on November 18th and "New Year's Eve" on December 9th.
Meyer noted that the "Harry Potter" series is the most successful franchise in motion picture history, and will most likely have exceeded $7.5 billion in worldwide boxoffice once the final installment ends its theatrical run. 2011 will be the last year with a "Potter" release.
Meyer told investors that Warner Brothers' management is preparing for life after Harry, and that its stable of DC comic book characters are key factors in the studio's future. The third Christopher Nolan-helmed "Batman" movie is scheduled for a July 2012 release, and the studio is planning on a 2012 holiday season release for a new "Superman" movie.
