Paramount has pushed its live-action kids film “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” from June 6 to Aug. 14 next summer.
The new date puts it up against Universal’s horror remake “Dracula” and Disney’s drama “The 100 Foot Journey.” It will hit theaters one week after Disney and Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” and Focus Features’ “50 Shades of Grey.”
On its previous date, it would have gone against the Warner Bros. Tom Cruise action film “Edge of Tomorrow,” and preceded Paramount’s own “Transformers 4” by three weeks.

The project is a reboot of the early 1990s film franchise, which brought in nearly half a billion dollars for New Line.
