'Anchorman 2' release moved up to Dec. 18

'Anchorman 2' release moved up'Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues," the sequel to the comedy hit of about a decade ago, will have its release date moved up two days to Dec. 18, Paramount Pictures said, according to the Los Angeles Times. The Will Ferrell film looks to get a jump on a crowded Christmas stretch that will see a bevy of new releases, such as Ben Stiller's "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," and presumably strong holdovers, such as "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug." The film now hits on a Wednesday, several days before the traditionally busy pre-Christmas weekend.
