Early November release for Tyler Perry's 'For Colored Girls'

It has been recently reported that Lionsgate will release 'Tyler Perry's For Colored Girls... on Nov. 5, 2010 instead of its original launch date during Martin Luther King weekend in (January) 2011.

With an earlier release date it would put the film in time for year-end awards consideration, and also continues Perry's streak of releasing at least one film per year since 2005.

"It's a serious film that really lends itself to the fall period. From talking with exhibitors, I know they're really excited to have another Tyler Perry film this year," said Lionsgate's executive vice-president and general sales manager David Spitz.

Competing against the film on November 5 will be the Paramount-DreamWorks Animation's 3D toon Megamind, starring Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, and Brad Pitt and Warner Bros.' Todd Phillips-directed Due Date, with Robert Downey, Jr., Zach Galifianakis, Michelle Monaghan, and Jaime Foxx.
