Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston's box-office face-off has been called off.
The big-screen showdown (and de facto blogger field day) was originally set for Oct. 24, the day both Changeling, starring Jolie, and He's Just Not That Into You, starring Aniston and a host of other A-listers, were set to open.
Which means Brad Pitt will remain the only person forced to choose between the two.
Warner Bros. confirmed today that it has bumped the release date of Aniston's vehicle back several months, to Feb. 6, 2009.
No reason was given for the delay, the film's second overall, though it wouldn't have been much of a battle to begin with.
Changeling, directed by Clint Eastwood, is only scheduled to open in limited release, while the bonanza that will be He's Just Not That Into You will no doubt be theatrically unavoidable.
