Monsters Vs. Aliens Disses Avatar

Man talk about your close calls!
DreamWorks Animation is moving up the release of 3-D toon "Monsters vs. Aliens" by one week to May 15, 2009, avoiding a direct showdown with James Cameron's 3-D pic "Avatar."
Because we wouldn't want two 3-D flicks opening at the same time. I'm not even sure why we'd want to open them a week apart. Especially with one being a James Cameron film in which he said he wait over ten years to make a new film because of the new technology he'll have in the film.
"Monsters vs. Aliens," an irreverent, modern-day update of the classic 1950s pic, is being directed by Conrad Vernon ("Shrek 2") and Rob Letterman ("Shark Tale").
Both "Monsters" and sci-fi thriller "Avatar," from 20th Century Fox, had claimed the opening date of May 22, 2009.
