New release dates for several movies have been announced over at Box Office Mojo. The list includes a mix of ape action, spooky spirits, fake cops, and late-night museum shenanigans, so let's get right to it.

The untitled sequel to DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES (PLANET OF THE APES 3) will be released on July 29, 2016.

The POLTERGEIST reboot directed by Gil Kenan (MONSTER HOUSE, CITY OF EMBER) and starring Sam Rockwell and Rosemarie DeWitt will be in theaters on February 13th, 2015. The film will open against Sam Taylor-Wood's FIFTY SHADES OF GREY with Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan. Speaking of February 13th, the Nicholas Sparks adaptation THE LONGEST RIDE has been moved from that date to April 3rd, 2015, joining INSIDIOUS 3 and the sci-fi flick PASSENGERS.

The action comedy LET'S BE COPS starring Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans, Jr., and directed by Luke Greenfield (SOMETHING BORROWED, THE GIRL NEXT DOOR), will be released on August 15th, 2014. The film is about two buddies who decide to impersonate cops. LET'S BE COPS also stars Andy Garcia and Rob Riggle.

And finally, Fox has moved NIGHT OF THE MUSEUM 3 from Christmas Day to December 19th, 2014.
