5Who knew June 19, 2009 would be so popular?
It was only last week that Disney pushed back the release of fantasy actioner "Prince of Persia" from June 19, 2009 to Memorial Day 2010, and swapped in Sandra Bullock-Ryan Reynolds romantic comedy "The Proposal."Two other big studio comedies have now jumped onto that date as well, Fox's Dwayne Johnson starrer "The Tooth Fairy" and Sony's Jack Black-Michael Cera starrer "The Year One," directed by Harold Ramis.

That means the frame is now jam-packed with three laffers looking to take advantage of kids being fully out of school.Also, with "Transformers 2" opening a week later on June 26, each hopes to work as counter-programming.
Even though they're all different--"The Proposal is a rom com, "Tooth Fairy" is aimed at families and "Year One" is of the raunchy, Judd Apatow variety--that's still a lot of laffs all at once.
