In attempt to strengthen its Summer 2010 release slate, Sony has moved two new comedies from Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen into that period.

Sandler's Grown Ups will move from March 12 to June 25, while Rogen's The Green Hornet will bow on July 9.

Sandler is coming off the success of Bedtimes Stories, which grossed $110 million domestically after opening during the Christmas holiday. The famous funnyman's box office clout has been waning slightly, but he still represents a significant draw.

Rogen, on the other hand, just recently experienced in one of the first major failures of his career as a leading man. Observe and Report left a bitter taste in the mouths of moviegoers, and it grossed only $24 million domestically.

The two actors will be seen together later this month in Judd Apatow's latest directorial effort, Funny People.
