When is the movie fifty shades of grey coming out in theaters

No exact date has been announced for when the film adaptation of the popular book Fifty Shades of Greywill be released. But it's estimated that the movie will be released sometime in 2013 or 2014.

It was announced early in 2012 that many film studios were interested in making a film version of Fifty Shades of Grey. After a long bidding war between many top studios, such as Paramount, Sony, and Warner Brothers, the rights to the film were acquired by Universal Pictures and Focus Features in late March 2012.

Since they're still working on writing the screenplay and casting, it's very unlikely the film will be released in 2012. It's estimated for 2013 or 2014, because it takes significant time to make a movie, but they'll want to release it while the book is still very popular.

The erotic novel Fifty Shades of Grey by E. L. James was published on June 20, 2011. It's the first book in a trilogy about a sexually charged relationship between a recent female college graduate and a slightly older, successful businessman. It's expected that the entire trilogy will be made into movies.
