He came, he saw, he conquered. And now you'll get to see it too!

After what feels like literally for-ev-er, Robert Pattinson's lusty flick Bel Ami has received a release date. Though the film premiered last month at the 62nd Berlin International Film Festival, speculation has been wild amongst R.Pattz fans over when the movie would hit theaters.

Well there's now an official date. And it means some serious competition for Kristen Stewart

Magnolia Pictures announced today that they've acquired the period piece (also starring Uma Thurman and Christina Ricci) and that it will hit a Cineplex near you June 8.

Yes—in just a few short months you'll be able to see R.Pattz bed just about everybody…as well as try his hand at some serious blackmail and social climbing. All in oh-so-romantic Paris.

We can almost hear the fangirls fainting already. Heck, we practically are!

So where does K.Stew come into the picture?

Her upcoming fairy-tale flick, Snow White and the Huntsman, is set to hit theaters on June 1, just one week before her BF's film.

That means it's going to be Kristen vs. Rob at the box office…again! Remember the battle for Twi­-hard support that went down when The Runaways and Remember Me came out at approximately the same time?

Let the couple claws come out! 

So which flick will you be seeing come the summer: Kristen kicking some serious evil queen ass in SWATH or Rob de-robing over and over and over again?! Sound off in the comments!
