Disney's adventure fantasy "Pete's Dragon" will release in India a day before it was scheduled to hit the screens. It will now make its way to the screens on August 18, which is Raksha Bandhan.
The film was earlier slated to release on August 19, read a statement on Monday.
The change in the release date is done to time it according to the festival of Raksha Bandhan to make the most of the holiday.

The film stars Bryce Dallas Howard, Oakes Fegley, Wes Bentley, Karl Urban, Oona Laurence, Isiah Whitlock Jr and Oscar winner Robert Redford.
