And please note the following updates to Paramount’s release schedule:

ONE SHOT,previously scheduled for February 8, 2013, will now open on December 21, 2012 (wide).

WORLD WAR Z,previously scheduled for December 21, 2012, will now open on June 21, 2013 (wide).

The budget for the movie is also said to be $100 Million. As you can see Paramount have shaken the release dates up on two of their other big movies too. In addition, In Deadline's report they say "Live action-CGI combo" when referencing the TMNT reboot.
