Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has changed release dates once again. But unlike the script problems that moved the Michael Bay-produced Turtles back to 2014, this time it’s about merchandising.

As anyone who has seen Spaceballs knows, “Merchandising, merchandising, where the real money from the movie is made.” And Paramount is moving Ninja Turtles from June 6, 2014, to August 8, 2014, so that there’s enough room in between Turtles and Transformers 4 (which comes out on June 27, 2014) to sell all the toys and Happy Meals consumers can buy.

The good news? It sounds like Paramount is giving Ninja Turtles the attention it deserves… even if it’s predictably favoring the massive Transformers franchise.
