Collider.com and others (for example, this site) are reporting that The Big Year will be released on October 14, 2011. Alas, the rumor of a July 4th release was just that, a rumor. It looks like it will be going up against the remake of Footloose and The Three Musketeers, but there doesn’t appear to be any other comedies scheduled for release at that time. Of course, all of this may change between then and now.
