Another theory is that Relativity is jumping out of the way of "21 Jump Street," a comedy starring Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum. That movie comes out on the same weekend "Mirror Mirror" had planned on. Early positive reaction from bloggers and journalists has encouraged Sony Corp.'s Columbia Pictures to market "21" aggressively, and Relativity might not have wanted to risk coming second at the box office that weekend. In the past, back-to-back releases of similarly themed movies haven't harmed their appeal. In the most recent example, "Deep Impact" and "Armageddon" each sold well more than $300 million in box-office tickets worldwide despite coming out less than two months apart in 1998. Both movies featured space objects that threatened to destroy Earth.
