These dates coincide with the release dates for France and Italy. There's no news yet on whether the UK will also move to the 15th. As soon as we get more confirmation we'll let you know.

UPDATE: The AP spoke with WB about why they decided to change the date. Dan Fellman, head of distribution for Warner Bros., stated that they wanted to get a head-start on the weekend as this summer is looking to be very competitive with many franchise films opening nearly every week. Every day the kids are out of school in summer is just like an extra Saturday," Fellman said.
