"This is one of the busiest times of the year for movie-going and we can't wait to share this outstanding thriller with audiences all over the world. We feel that by opening for nighttime shows on Dec. 20, fans of the book will be given the perfect opportunity to get a jump start on the release of the exceptional film," Jeff Blake, Sony's chairman of worldwide marketing and distribution, said in a statement issued to the entertainment industry trade newspaper.
