Twentieth Century Fox has moved the release date of Kingsman: The Secret Service from its original October 24 release date to February 13, 2015.

That means that, on Valentine’s Day weekend, Kingsman will go up against the film adaptation of the kinky romance novel Fifty Shades of Grey. That’s a pretty tall order, given the popularity of the Fifty Shades book series.

Based upon the acclaimed comic book by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons, and directed by Matthew Vaughn (Kick-Ass, X-Men: First Class), Kingsman: The Secret Service tells the story of a super-secret spy organization that recruits an unrefined but promising street kid into the agency’s ultra-competitive training program just as a global threat emerges from a twisted tech genius.

The film stars Colin Firth, Samuel L. Jackson, Mark Strong, Taron Egerton, and Michael Caine.

The Poltergeist reboot, which had previous been in Fox’s Valentine’s Day release slot, will now open July 25, 2015.
