As stated by Paramount. Check out this BBC Article involving the date being pushed back for Star Trek: Quote:
Paramount Pictures said the movie would still be finished on schedule but wanted it to open in the summer.
"Summer is where you see the Star Wars and the Transformers," said studio spokesman Michael Vollman. "Star Trek is in that league."
The film is being directed by Lost creator JJ Abrams and stars Chris Pine as Kirk and Zachary Quinto as Spock.
British comedian Simon Pegg is also due to step into James Doohan's shows by playing the Starship Enterprise's chief engineer, Scotty.
The movie, which has not yet been named, was originally going to be released on Boxing Day.
Strong competition
Paramount insisted the decision was a vote of confidence in the production and was not related to the recent Hollywood writers' strike.
"Star Trek is in fantastic shape. This is all about box-office potential," said Mr Vollman.
The film had been in production without its screenwriters available to make revisions.
The studio is aiming to release Star Trek on 8 May 2009, putting it in the middle of some strong competition.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine, starring Hugh Jackman, is scheduled to open a week earlier.
And a week after Star Trek will come The Da Vinci Code prequel, Angels and Demons.

Also, many folks question whether a sequel could be better than what has come before.
It will be an interesting summer.
Eliminate even the toughest stains!
